there was no fetal abnormal response. if the patient starts with close contactions we don't give the next dose.

our nurses feel confortable with our protocol, and are comfortable about inserting the medication. this is an easy medication to use and gives great results.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
