Question:
In regards to medications with a condition of "unaltered", should we be administering these if the pt is GCS 15, then has a syncopal episode (or other altered period) in your care and then returns to GCS 15? An example would be a chest pain call where you want to treat with ASA and Ondansetron. Is it a case of "once you're out you're out" or would it still be appropriate to treat as they have now returned to an unaltered state? Thanks
Answer:
If the patient at the time of administration of the medication is unaltered, with no reason for you to think they will again become altered, then the medication may be administered.
