Practice Management Flashcards
Which hazardous drugs can be stored with other inventory?
-Non-antineoplastic
-reproductive risk only
-final dosage forms of antineoplastics
Storage of hazardous drugs
-externally ventilated negative pressure room
-12 ACPH
Receipt of hazardous drugs
-Neutral or negative pressure area
-not in sterile area
HD c-pec reqs for non-sterile and sterile compounding
-separate rooms unless IOS 7
-if same room, place 1 meter apart
Non-sterile HD compounding engineering controls reqs
-externally ventilated or redundant hepa filter
-12 ACPH
-neg pressure 0.01-0.03 in water column
Sterile HD compounding engineering controls reqs
-externally ventilated
-if IOS 7 anteroom and buffer room then 30 ACPH
-if unclassified C-SCA then 12 ACPH
-negative pressure 0.01-0.03 in of water column pressure
Sink placement
-Anteroom at least 1 meter from buffer room entrance
-in unclassified C-SCA place sink 1 meter from c-pec
When are closes system transfer devices (CSTD) required
-required for administration (when dosage form allows)
-recommended for compounding
*not a substitute for a C-PEC
*should have ONB product code
Environmental wipe sampling for HD
-SHOULD (not must) be done q6 month
Include:
-interior of c-pec and equipment
-pass through chamber
-surfaces in staging or work areas
-areas near c-pec
-area immediately outside buffer room or C-CSA
-patient administration areas
This is Testing for HD residue
No standard for acceptable limits exist
When are two pairs of gloves needed?
-Compoundingsterile and non-sterile HDs (outer pair must be sterile)
-gather drugs and supplies
-administration of antineoplastic HDs
-repackaging liquid HD
-crushing /splitting solid dosage forms
*powder free
I think 1 pair is ok for receiving, unpacking, and storing- per Brooke
When are single pair of gloves ok
-Handling all HDs including non-anteneoplastic and reproductive risk only
-includes unpackaging/receiving
*powder free
-repackaging intact SOlID dosage forms (two gloves for liquid)
Note: gloves are needed for all HDs including non-antineoplastic and reproductive risk only
How often must gloves be changed?
Every 30 minutes
How often to change gowns
According to manufacturer or q2-3hrs
When to wear 2 shoes covers
-When compounding HD
-when cleaning up a HD spill!
When to wear eye protection
-risk for spills/splashes
-administration in surgical suite
-working at or above eye level
-cleaning a spill
Respiratory protections
-elastomeric half mask with multi gas cartridge and p100 filter when unpacking HD until integrity of packaging is assessed (unless HD contained in plastic)
-airborne particles: NIOSH n95
-gases and vapors: full face piece chemical cartridge type or PARP (also use for large spills, cleaning under c-pec, known airborne exposure of powders or vapors)
When to change plastic mat in c-pec
With each spill, regularly during use, and end of day
Priming HD
In c-pec with non-hazardous drug
Cleaning
Deactivation: render inert-epa registered oxidizers (peroxide m, sodium hypochlorite
Decontaminate: remove hd residue- etoh, water, peroxide, sodium hypochlorite
Cleaning: remove organic and inorganic material- germicidal
Disinfect: kill microorganisms- epa registered disinfectant or sterile etoh
When to decontaminate c-pec
-at least daily when used
-spills
-before and after certification
-any time voluntary interruption
-ventilation tool moved
-clean areas under the work tray at least monthly- deactivate, decontaminate, and clean
How often are HD SOPs reviewed and revised?
annually
Medical surveillance
Monitoring health of employees that handle HDs
Not required- only a recommendation
How often is HD training done
Annually
How full can a syringe with HD be?
No more than 3/4 full
Where can you compound non-sterile HD
Class I or II BSC, cve, caci
C-pec for sterile compounding ok but must be cleaned decontaminated and disinfected
Allowable/acceptable level of HD surface concentration
No standards exist for this yet
