16
Q

examples of specific functions that must be completed on the institution’s standardized time schedule

A
  • mopping of floors in clean room and buffer area

- cleaning of walls and ceilings of entire sterile compounding area

17
Q

T/F

the same syringe may be used for a limited number of additions of the exact same drug to admixtures

18
Q

T/F for different types of drugs, the same syringe may be used

A

False

a new syringe must be used for each different drug to avoid compatibility issues

19
Q

Risk level conditions are based upon the ______ for the introduction of microbial contamination

20
Q

Risk results from

A
  • use of non-sterile components
  • novel, complex or prolonged aseptic processes
  • open exposure of drug product or product containment devices to the atmosphere
21
Q

Low risk

A

limited number of sterile ingredients , products, components, and devices
limited manipulations

22
Q

medium risk

A

multiple small doses of sterile products pooled to prepare products that are given to multiple patients
more complex manipulation of longer duration

23
Q

high risk

A

non-sterile ingredients

inferior air quality (no hood)

24
Q

examples of compatibility resources

A

package insert
king guide to parenteral admixtures
trissel’s handbook on injectable drugs

25
Critical elements in accurate and appropriate delivery of drug therapy to patients
drug stability and compatibility
26
What can be adversely affected by drug instability or incompatibility?
therapeutic efficacy | safety of treatment
27
types of compatibility/stability issues
``` precipitation product instability expiration solubility temperature impact adsorption/absorption drug delivery system drug concentration ```
28
Peripheral venous access
typical hospital IV in hand or forearm | small veins with less blood flowing past needle/catheter
29
Peripheral venous access useful for
relatively small volumes of fluid and for IV push
30
central catheter, peripherally inserted
into body at elbow and tip threaded up into vein to heart | tip of catheter in superior vena cava
31
central catheter, peripherally inserted useful for
much higher volumes of solutions | irritating drugs
32
central catheter tunneled
tip in superior vena cava other end tunneled 6 inches away under skin on chest Dacron cuff on catheter inside skin tunnels which seals around to prevent bacteria from migrating along outside of catheter and into bloodstream
33
central catheter tunneled useful for
much higher volumes of solutions | irritating drugs
34
central catheters implanted ports
small titanium reservoir with rubber stopper attached to catheter entering vein below collarbone port part implanted under skin
35
central catheters implanted ports useful for
advantages of central line not as readily available good for weekly meds irritating meds can be delivered
