For patient safety, the entry of height and weight should be a hard stop prior to administering any medication.

      It does not seem that enabling this setting will prevent you from administering a medication without having a height and weight documented. In our experience, if there is no H/W documented then nurses cannot place an order in order entry. Physicians can still bypass this and order medications even if no H/W is entered. This does not seem to prevent administering medications from the MAR/chronology.

      I'm curious...isn't that a setting on page 5 of the Point of Care Control Maintenance table?
