Setting Up and Programming Multiple Primary Continuous IV Infusions: Participant Feedback

Question	One-at-a-Time Protocol
Effectiveness at reducing medication errorsa	3.4
Likelihood of using intervention in clinical practiceb	3.3
Comment themes	Already adhere to this protocol in current practice Good general principle, but protocol cannot always be followed for clinical and operational reasons; for example, pump inventory shortages and space limitations may force nurses to reuse the pumps that are already infusing Protocol is too restrictive; nurses should be given the flexibility to set up their infusions depending on their mental model or patient needs

Abbreviation: IV, intravenous.
