STAT drugs are prescribed to correct or help an immediate problem; they are given as soon as they are available.If the drug is not available on the unit,the nurse must call the pharmacy for an immediate drug dose.PRN drugs may be important but are given at the patient's indication for a need of the drug.The Benadryl order is written as a standing order and does not indicate an immediate need.Although Alphamine is written as a single-dose drug order,there is no indication for immediate administration.
