From ISMP Ault IV Push Guielines/Recommendations

From 3.5 of recommendations. Do NOT withdraw IV push medications from commercially available, cartridge-type syringes into another syringe for administration.

I'm receiving questions on how to dilute meperidine and lorazepam when they come in cartridge-type syringes? Does your pharmacy send these doses diluted? If not, how is nursing diluting.
Thank you
