Need an opinion, say you have a patient with severe asthma that albuterol would be indicated. per your protocol you can administer nebulized albuterol. Your service does NOT provide you with albuterol on the trucks.
Four scenarios:
You are also an asthmatic and cary your own solution for personal use. Use your own?
You have some that you were given for a different patient by the hospital that you transported previously but didnt use it.
The patients family member provides you with some prescribed to the patient.
A bystander provides you with some.
In all these cases you can confirm its the correct dose and med.
Do you accept the outside drug and use it?
Do you call med control/a supervisor for permission?
