#	Name	Location	Type	Details	Index	Description
.01	dispense drug	0;1	POINTER	50	B
.02	units per dose	0;2	NUMERIC			This is the number of UNITS (tablets, capsules, etc.) to be dispensed as a DOSE for this order. The literals '1/2' and '1/4' may be entered. If there is no entry (or an entry of `0'), it is assumed to be ONE (1). ** PLEASE NOTE ** 1. If the provider prescribes 30 ml's of a medication that is usually dispensed and administered as 60 ml's, the correct UNITS PER DOSE would be `1/2' (or .5), NOT 30 ml's. The correct entry of 30 ml's would be in the DOSAGE ORDERED field. 2. If the UNITS PER DOSE prescribed is a variable amount (1-2 tab.), it is suggested that the maximum amount be entered and the actual amount prescribed noted either in the DOSAGE ORDERED or SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS fields.
.03	inactive date	0;3	DATE-TIME			This is the date that this dispense drug will no longer be dispensed for this order. Once an order becomes active, dispense drugs cannot be deleted.
