Amy,

Here in NH the nurses don’t carry Epi pens when doing DOT. They do however when they are planting TST’s.

All,

I am interested to know if your agency policies require the nurses to carry epinephrine while performing DOT of po meds (ie - INH, Rif, EMB, PZA) in the home? Are your nurses carrying epi when giving injectables?
