Nurses are forced to use risky workarounds to administer oral vancomycin intravenously due to incompatible bottle and syringe designs.

The oral vancomycin bottle cannot be directly drawn with a standard IV syringe, forcing nurses to pour into a cup or use an oral syringe to transfer, increasing steps and risk of error.
