daptomycin Lab Test Considerations: Monitor CPK weekly, more frequently in patients with unexplainedq.

. Discontinue daptomycin if CPK _1000 units/L and signs and symptoms of myopathy occur. In patients with renal insufficiency, monitor both renal function and CPK more frequently. May cause false prolongation of PT andq INR. Potential Nursing Diagnoses Risk for infection (Indications, Side Effects) Implementation IV Administration Intermittent Infusion: Diluent: Reconstitute 500-mg vial with 10 mL of 0.9% NaCl inserted toward wall of vial. Rotate vial gently to wet powder. Allow to stand for 10 min undisturbed. Swirl vial gently to completely reconstitute solution. Reconstituted vials are stable for 12 hr at room temperature or 48 hr if refrigerated. Dilute further in 50 mL of 0.9% NaCl. Solution is stable for 12 hr at room temperature or 48 hr if refrigerated. Do not administer solutions that are cloudy or contain a precipitate. Rate: Infuse over 30 min. Do not infuse daptomycin with ReadyMED_ elastomeric infusion pumps due to incompatibility.
