Nurse administration of sleep medication: a comparison of registered nurses and licensed practical nurses.

P A Robers1, T S Moore, B L Svarstad.   

Abstract

This study examines differences in the administration of PRN (pro re nata or give "as needed") sleep medication between licensed practical nurses and registered nurses working in long-term care facilities. Work characteristics, characteristics of the residents cared for, and the extent of orders and administration of PRN sleep medications were similar in the two groups. No significant differences in the administration of PRN sleep medication were found.
