Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sterile water is kept in two forms. Multiple-dose or single one-time use vials are used as a diluent for medications; larger containers of sterile water are for rinsing instruments that have been in a chemical disinfectant solution. Sterile normal saline solution is also stocked in two sizes. The small vial is used for injection (e.g., 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP single-dose vials, Bacteriostatic 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP multiple-dose vials). A larger plastic container of sterile saline (e.g., 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP) is used for cleaning, rinsing, and irrigating wounds.
