What would you do if a physician prescribed a medication for you to give a patient, but you were unsure if it read 2 mg or .2 mg?

"I have had that happen several times in my career, as many physicians are in a hurry when charting. If I am unsure of the medication dosage or other patient care instructions, I contact the physician to clarify. The last thing I want to do is harm my patients by giving them an incorrect dosage or improper treatment."

"Whenever I am unsure what a physician or another healthcare professional writes down regarding patient care or drug dosing, I contact that person directly to clarify. I would not rely on someone else to interpret the physician's writing, as it could be misinterpreted and dangerous for the patient."
