P A Robers, T S Moore and B L Svarstad

College of Pharmacy, University of Texas, Austin 78712.

This study examines differences in the administration of PRN (pro re nata or give "as needed") sleep medication between licensed practical nurses and registered nurses working in long-term care facilities. Work characteristics, characteristics of the residents cared for, and the extent of orders and administration of PRN sleep medications were similar in the two groups. No significant differences in the administration of PRN sleep medication were found.
