Which medication requires a non-PVC container for administration?

  1. Dobutamine

  2. Milrinone

  3. Nitroglycerin

  4. Vasopressin

The correct answer is: Nitroglycerin

Nitroglycerin requires a non-PVC container for administration due to its potency and risk of absorption by the container. Dobutamine, Milrinone, and Vasopressin do not require a non-PVC container as they are not as potent or reactive with PVC. Using a PVC container for Nitroglycerin administration can lead to dose variability and potential absorption by the container, which can result in inaccurate dosing and detrimental effects for the patient.
