Can you back flush a line if the next medication to go through the line might be incompatible with the last one?
I have been nursing for many years, and just today was told for the first time that you can’t back flush a secondary line if the meds were incompatible, regardless of how much you back flush with. I guess I’ve been doing it wrong, and have to prime a new secondary for every med. I don’t really understand why it’s ever useful to back flush, except to prime the initial secondary then.
