Which of the following best indicates correct understanding of nystatin suspension storage?

1. In a freezer

2. At room temperature

3. In a medicine cabinet with light exposure

4. Next to a heat source

The correct answer is: At room temperature

Nystatin suspension should be stored at room temperature. Storing it in a freezer may cause the medication to freeze and become ineffective. Storing it in a medicine cabinet with light exposure may also reduce its effectiveness. Similarly, storing it next to a heat source may cause the medication to break down and lose its potency. Therefore, storing nystatin suspension at room temperature is the best option to ensure its effectiveness.
