Allow document of waste when nurses administer medications.

There is not a field for nurses to document waste when the administer medications on the floor. There needs to be a section to document waste (particularly controlled substances) when a medication is administered. Exp: Nurse uses 2mg of Morphine out of a 10mg vial and needs to waste the rest of the vial. This makes it difficult to meet requirements of medication tracking and documentation of controlled substance use.

    There is the P to prompt for waste but we are told this does not work if we use an ADM - we must set it to Y. We want to be able to use P to prompt for waste at the time of med admin as this idea is requesting. This will help in the departments that are not profiled on the Pyxis/ADM.
