title: Drug compatibilities and infusion sites.
abstract: Many medications commonly used in the NICU are compatible, but are not routinely coinfused. By minimizing infusion sites, nurses contribute to protecting our smallest patients against infection and stress. No single handbook or resource provides comprehensive information about drug compatibilities. Clinicians must cross-reference several sources to guide their practice.
