Wtf did I just see???? Beth giving an atypical antipsychotic to a coma patient after grinding up 200mg tablets (at least 2-3) then maybe using sterile water only to suck up about 2mL (no idea the dilution rate) then trying to inject IV which can't happen grinding up pills meant for the GI and she was supposed to get 75mg in? The clonazepam is an anxiolytic given at 0.25-1mg which the bottle read .5mg, a 100% no no without the zero. Even if he did say the right med the dosage was off at 75mg. So the doc screwed up twice. 75mg for clozapine is fine and a normal dose starting out. And why would a coma pt need to lower his anxiety? I doubt he was going to seize.
