stat/now medication (Verabreichung von Arzneimitteln) unverzüglich/so schnell wie möglich Explanation: z. B.: "Stat" is generally considered to mean "immediately". The abbreviation "stat", is from the latin "statim" which translates to "immediately, or without delay" (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2019). A stat order is used in a critical or life-threatening situation. Often, stat orders should be carried out right now, before any other task. In reality, may not be possible to implement an order immediately. Although there is no standard definition of how quickly a stat order should be completed, the general practice is that the order should be implemented immediately (Jung et al, 2017), or within no more than 30 minutes (Abdelaziz, Richardson, Walsh, Nodzon & Schwarz, 2016; Gigimol et al, 2017: Manojiovich, et al, 2014). "Now" or "ASAP" are generally considered to mean urgent, but not "STAT". Often "Now" or "ASAP" orders require action by another party before they can be carried out, such as pharmacist verification and dispensing of medication. (Grammarist, n.d.). Although there is not a standard definition of how quickly a "Now" or "ASAP" order should be completed, the general practice is that it should be implemented within approximately 60-90 minutes (Naylor, Woloschuk, Fitch & Miller, 2011; Potter, Perry, Stockert & Hall, 2017). https://www.amsn.org/practice-resources/care-term-reference/... |
