True or False: ALL parenteral products must be sterile
T: we are bypassing defense mechanisms of the body (we don’t want to give them an infection)
True.
Parenteral products are medications that are intended to be administered through injection, infusion, or implantation into the body, bypassing the digestive system. Because these products are administered directly into the bloodstream or bodily tissues, they must be sterile to avoid the risk of infection and other adverse reactions. Sterile means free from any microbiological organisms such as bacteria and viruses that could lead to disease or harm the patient’s health. Therefore, all parenteral products must be sterile.
