Answer to Question 1

No. The nurse cannot use an unlabeled reconstituted medication because it may have expired and be ineffective, decomposed, or contaminated.

Answer to Question 2

Patient name if needed, Date of reconstitution, Reconstituted strength, Nurse preparer, and Re-constitution expiration date and hour if agency requires.
