795
How often should environmental quality and control samples be done?
-routinely
-initially than every 6 months
-$400 per sample per drug
PPE for handling HDs

-administration
-deactivation/decontamination
-spill control
-waste disposal
HD gowns
-disposable
-polyethylene or laminate
-close in the back
HD gloves
2 pairs
HD shoe covers
-2 pairs
-remove outer when leaving
-anti skid
HD spill protection
-eye protection
-powered air purifying respirator
Hazard communication program
-OSHA required
-all containers must be labeled
-must have SDS for each chemical
-SDS must be available
-Personnel must be provided information and training before job
-women must confirm in writing that they understand the risks of handling HDs
HD Personnel training
-must be trained based on job functions
-must be assessed every 12 months

-must document competencies
True or false: Antieoplastics may be placed in automated counting/packaging machines
False. MUST NOT
-ok for automated dispensing cabinets
best practices for HD compounding
-use a CSTD for sterile compounding
-use a chemo mat
-MUST dedicate equipment to HDs
Administration of HDs
-must use CSTDs or protective medical devices
-must pre prime IV tubing with non HD solution
-must wear PPE
-must avoid manipulation
spill control of HDs
-must have proper training
-spill kits available
-dispose materials as hazardous waste
-address size of spills
How often is the standard operating procedure reviewed?
every 12 months
What makes waste hazardous?
-ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and toxicity
carbohydrate
3.4 kcal/gm
protein
4 kcal/g
-maintenance: 1 g/kg/day
-more under stress
lipid emulsions
10 kcal/g
When should actual weight be used rather than IDW for TPN?
-pt is under weight or ideal weight
TPNs for severely underweight pts
-actual weigh initially
-gradually increase in nutrition doesn’t increase
-upper limit of 35 kcal/kg/day
TPNs for overweight patients
-adjusted body weight
-25 kcal/kg may overestimate requirments
Adjusted body weight
(actual weight-ideal weight)/2 + ideal
-ideal weight calculated using Hamwi equation
Hamwi Equation: Men
48.1 kg (first 152.4 cm) + 2.72 kg (in)
Hamwi Equation: women
45.4 kg (first 152.4 cm) + 2.27 kg (in)
Peripheral Parenteral Nutrition (PPN)
-Fluid restriction NOT possible
-avoids central catheter related complications
-high amount of kcal/protein in short amount of time
Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN)
-long term
-fluid restriction
-large amounts of nutrients can be supplied
flow rate for dextrose solutions
no higher than 0.36 g/kg/hr
micronutrients in TPN
-water and fat soluble
-vitamin K should be given: Coagulopathy
adult fluid needs TPN
35 ml/kg/day
-not all in TPN
4 ethical principles relevant to artificial nutrition and hydration
-Autonomy
-Beneficence
-Non-maleficence
-Justice
“All badger must jump”
3 prerequisites of artificial nutrition
1)indication of medical treatment: beneficence
2) the definition of a therapeutic goal to be achieved AND: nonmalefiecence
3) the will of the patient and his/her informed consent: Autonomy
