Fosphenytoin IV Push

Hello,

How does your institution comply with fosphenytoin IV Push administration on the nursing units with regards to NIOSH classification of a hazardous drug.
1. Do you compound the IV Push dosage form in the IV room and send to nurse or
2. do you send vials and allow nurse to draw up in the unit using a CTSD?
