May the nurse substitute SW for bacteriostatic SW for dilution? Where would this information be obtained? Reconstituted medications have a shorter shelf life
What will be an ideal response?
No. SW and bacteriostatic SW are not interchangeable. The bacteriostatic product has an agent, usually benzyl alcohol. The appropriate diluent would be obtained from the product label, prod-uct accompanying information, and/or a current drug reference, and/or the pharmacist.
