A student nurse is listing new standards for the administration of parenteral heparin that have been developed by The Joint Commission. Which standard listed by the nursing student indicates a need for further training? Use programmable infusion pumps while administering heparin IV. Use prefilled syringes and premixed IV bags only. This is incorrect. When using heparin or other anticoagulant drugs, only prefilled syringes and premixed IV bags should be used. Convert the units of measurement when calculating the dosages of heparin. Ensure baseline and ongoing laboratory tests are conducted
