Can someone please direct me to the INS statement that says KVO is not acceptable but rather a specific rate must be in the doctor's order. The only thing I can find is #10 Orders for the Initiation and management of Infusion Therapy. S15.
Is that that what I can use for rationale to get physicians to stop writing KVO.
Thanks,
Chris Thomas
