Benzos before procedures / imaging

We do not currently have a policy that states a nurse must accompany a patient to Diagnostic Imaging or a Procedural area if they received a dose of IV benzodiazepine for anxiety. We are considering the need for one.

What do you have in place at your institution?

Thank you,

Erica
