Validation will be done on your entries and you will be sent to a "data check" screen to enable you to see and check the information on which decision support will be based.
   2. Enter dose decision only You may want to just enter a dose decision without basing it on a blood result (in which case no decision support will be available).

Either way you will be returned to the menu pane.
