First Exam Lab

Question 1

What is aespetic technique

Answer 1

technique for manipulation of compounded sterile compounds and parental preparations that prevent contamination

Question 2

What is the iso rating of the hood, buffer room

Answer 2

at least iso 5, at least iso 7

Question 3

What is the ante room

Answer 3

space directly adjacent to the buffer area where non sterile activities related to compounding take place

Question 4

What is the buffer room, what is the minimum iso rating

Answer 4

The room where actual compounding is taking place, iso 7

Question 5

T/F: The higher the count, the cleaner the air

Answer 5

False: The lower the count, the cleaner the air

Question 6

What is negative pressure, when is it present

Answer 6

airflow is flowing inward (into the hood/room) and vented to the outside, required for hazardous preparations

Question 7

What is positive pressure, when is it present

Answer 7

airflow is outward (out of the hood/room) to prevent contamination of CSPs, used for non hazardous CSPs

Question 8

How does the cleaning occur

Answer 8

Clean from the cleanest area to the dirties areas

Question 9

What is the HEPA filter

Answer 9

Removes 99.7% of particles in the air, flows in one direction at a constant rate,moves particles away from the CSPs

Question 10

What is horizontal flow hood

Answer 10

air blows toward personnel

Question 11

What is vertical flow hood

Answer 11

air blows from top down

Question 12

What are biological safety cabinets (chemo hoods)

Answer 12

negative pressure hood used to prepare CSPs

Question 13

What is the difference between compounding aseptic isolators (CAIs) and compounding aseptic containment isolators (CACIs)

Answer 13

postive pressure, used for non hazardous drugs (CAIs)/negative pressure, used for hazardous drugs (CACIs)

Question 14

What is the volume of the SVP,LVP

Answer 14

100ml or less, greater than 100ml volume

Question 15

What is the technique to cleaning the hood

Answer 15

top to bottom, back to front, perpendicular to the airflow

Question 16

T/F: As a general rule you should use a syringe that has a capacity that is approximately double the volume you will be withdrawing

Answer 16

True

Question 17

What is a 2-in-1

Answer 17

A PN that has 2 compounding ports going into 1 bag, one is carbohydrates and one is amino acids

Question 18

What is a 3-in-1

Answer 18

A PN that has 3 compounding ports going into 1 bag, one is carbohydrates, one is amino acids, one is IV fat emulsion

Question 19

What are the macronutrients

Answer 19

Dextrose, amino acids, fat emulsion

Question 20

What are the micronutrients

Answer 20

electrolytes, vitamins, trace element minerals

Question 21

What is a TPN

Answer 21

PN formulation that contains fat, carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins, electrolytes in a single container

Question 22

What is the order for mixing to the TPN container

Answer 22

The lipids can be added to the TPN container either first or last as long as the lipids and dextrose are not added next to each other
