Stewardship and safety checks
- Confirm the indication, severity, and need for parenteral therapy per local pathways.
- Review allergy history and cross-reactivity before selecting an agent.
- Adjust dosing for renal function when applicable (and monitor trends, not just a single value).
- Verify concentration and infusion rate/compatibility (especially with continuous infusions or Y-site administration).
