Which of the following is the correct procedure for a nurse to prepare a suspension before administration?
A
Dilute the suspension with water to reduce concentration.
B
Heat the suspension to body temperature before use.
C
Allow the suspension to settle before pouring.
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that a suspension is a liquid preparation containing solid particles dispersed in a liquid medium. These particles can settle over time, leading to uneven distribution.
Recognize that before administering a suspension, it is crucial to ensure that the solid particles are evenly distributed throughout the liquid to provide the correct dosage.
Identify that shaking the bottle vigorously is the standard procedure to redistribute the particles evenly within the suspension.
Avoid diluting the suspension with water, as this can alter the concentration and effectiveness of the medication.
Do not heat the suspension unless specifically instructed, as this can affect the stability and efficacy of the medication.
