Sterile Water Orderables in the EMR

Interested in how other institutions have built their sterile water 10ml order sentences to reflect that it is for diluent use only. What route have you used in the orderable? I am thinking that we may need to build a new route of "diluent", "other" or "misc" for safety purposes to reflect that the SW itself should not be given IV Push without using as a diluent first. Appreciate any feedback.
