Regarding Gravol for patients over 65 years. The age condition was removed, but the treatment section states that gravol may be considered for patients over the age of 65 if ondansetron is "unavailable." 
 
My question: would it still be a patch to BHP if ondansetron is available, but Gravol would be the more appropriate antiemetic? Example being vertigo symptoms where the pt can't even consume the PO ondansetron, but technically it is "available."  

You can always patch to the Base Hospital Physician (BHP) for a consult to assist with treatment. This would be a good example of when a BHP patch would be beneficial.
