This is deliberate. Standard concentrations are set by your pharmacy and differ between hospitals, sometimes between units in the same building. A printed number from somewhere else, sitting in a reference you trust, is one of the more reliable ways to cause a medication error. A blank makes you look it up; a number doesn’t. Fill them in once from your own formulary, date the page, and you have a reference that’s both complete and correct for your building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEverything else — the clinical reasoning, the recognition criteria, the scripts, the sequences, the order to do things in — is written out in full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHO IT’S FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNew critical care nurses, nurses transitioning into ICU, nursing students in a critical care rotation, and CCRN candidates who want the material organized the way a shift actually runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA structure for thinking and a memory aid — not a protocol, an order set, or a substitute for your institution’s policies, your pharmacist, or your own judgment.
