Are there any simple steps to follow or rules to remember while getting used to the new way of color- coding patients for medical treatment that will help us to adjust to changing over to this system?
There are 3 rules in our system that should be followed and will serve as a guide for color coding kids for medical treatment. They are an anagram for our initials, C-C-K. 1. Color – always identify the primary color of each patient. Length is best for emergencies and is adequate for medical treatment, but weight is best for medical treatment. When you have an accurate weight, use it. Be sure to match the I.D. color of your patient to any tool you are using for treatment. 2. Concentration – this applies to the mLs-based portion of our Point of Care manuals. When referencing a dose of medication in mLs, be sure to match the concentration formula on the bottle or package of medication you are giving to the concentration formula listed in the tool you are using before administering the medication. 3. Key Words – many drugs in our system have more than one indication and therefore more than one dosing formula for administration. We differentiate between multiple drug indications by the use
