Step 1: Determine the type and volume of diluent needed.

Step 2: Choose the appropriate sterile syringe to use when drawing up the diluent and injecting it into the medication vial.

Step 3: Remove the cap from the diluent vial.

Step 4: With an alcohol wipe, clean the top of the diluent vial.

Step 5: Use aseptic technique to draw up the specified amount of diluent.
