A nurse is preparing to administer phenytoin. Which of the following information should the nurse identify as correct according to the medication label?

A. The nurse should avoid shaking the medication: The label explicitly instructs “SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING,” which means shaking is required to ensure uniform distribution of the drug in the suspension. Not shaking it can result in inaccurate dosing and reduced effectiveness. B. The medication should not be stored below 30°C (86°F): The label says “Store below 30°C,” which means the drug should be kept at a temperature lower than 30°C. This option reverses the instruction and is therefore incorrect. C. The total amount available per container is 4 mL: The label states “Delivers 4 mL,” which reasonably suggests that the container delivers a total of 4 mL, especially when no larger volume is indicated elsewhere. D. The medication is for IV administration: The label clearly says it is an “oral suspension,” indicating that the medication is meant for oral use only. Administering it intravenously would be unsafe and against proper administration routes.
