Patients selection

Hi everyone! I’d love to hear how other NPs handle patient screening and medical clearance.

• Do you have a specific list of exclusion/contraindication criteria for patients who cannot receive IV therapy at your clinic? Like 18 years+ only, age 70+ require PCP clearance and blood work, pregnant and breastfeeding patients require OB /GYN note and can they get at list NS/LR bag? (My medical director does not want to get involved with pregnant population lol and I do! Tons of patients want hydration and nausea relief lol).

• Which patients do you require to obtain clearance from their PCP or specialist (oncology patients)

• Do you requireOB/GYN clearancefor pregnant patients or patients who are pregnant/trying to conceive?

• Are there certain medical conditions or medications that prompt you to require additional blood?

• Do you have different screening requirements depending on the type of IV (hydration, vitamins, glutathione, high-dose vitamin C, etc.)?

I’m particularly interested in hearing how other NPs have structured their screening questionnaire, exclusion list, lab requirements, and clearance process.

If anyone is willing to share a general outline of their protocol or what has worked well in their practice, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you!
