Drawing up medication into syringes Ask these questions: (1) what syringe size should you use to draw up this medication? (2) How should this be diluted? (3) How FAST can they be administered (rate of administration)? Dilution is sometimes necessary; however, even though it says "can be administered undiluted" think about rate of administration. Can you effectively push 1mL over 5 minute? Probably not! Have this discussion with your faculty member! Remember...with all IV meds (after you know the route of administration) you should check compatibility, rate of administration, and dilution! hel 1.
