Do not allow free text entry for route of administration on medication orders.

Free text entry of route of administration should not be allowed when entering medication orders. This will cause the MAR to lock up and all meds to be inaccessible to any nurse for that patient until the medication is dc'd and reordered with a route of administration selected from the dropdown box. This can cause significant delays in patient care and is a patient safety issue.
