Add a separate field for IV flow rate in Notes

Currently, there is a dose field which works great for oral medications. Unfortunately for IVs it pulls the flow rate. Both flow rate and medication dose should be available for nursing to see to prevent medication errors. Pulling flow rate to medication dose is understandable with some variable dose titrating IVs but most IVs (antibiotics etc...) have a set dose and this should be present on the notes flowsheet. Example: Ancef 2gm/NS 100ml. The dose is not 100 ml/hr, the dose is 2 gm.
