never measure less than ___ of the volume of the syringe

46
Q

critical sites on the needle

A

sprayed or wiped with sterile 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA)

48
Q

supplies brought into sterile compounding area from sterile supplies received in sealed pouches

A
  • remove from pouch as introduced to PEC - do not need to disinfect individual sterile item - cover protects sterile bag and decreases evaporation - sometimes you can see condensation inside the cover
49
Q

placement of supplies in the laminar airflow workbench

A
  • place 3 in from the back and side walls of the LAFW - place at least 6 inches from the front edge of LAFW. front 6 inches is unsafe area and must discard uncovered sterile products if it goes in this area - do not block first air - critical sites should receive first air - maintain clear direct compounding area (DCA)

59
Q

peripheral TPN

A

short-term only (10-14 days) must be aware of excessive osmolarity to avoid phlebitis

60
Q

Central TPN

“emulsified fatty acids” - can be separate bottle or mixed in with AA and dextrose (3 to 1) 10% is 1.1 kcal / mL 20% kcal / mL

62
Q

TPN Amino Acids

A

provides protein content for TPN available as 8.4% and 10% solutions 4 kcal/g can be weight basis g/kg/day buffers the acidity of dextrose some preps also have phosphorous

63
Q

24 hour urinary urea nitrogen

A

protein g needed = (UNN + 4) x 6.25

64
Q

TPN dextrose

A

source of carbs for TPN stock solution of 50% or 70% is often used 3.4 kcal/g slightly acidic molecule (pKa 12) never mix dextrose solution with lipids alone - amino acids buffer and crack the emulsion bc acid and base

65
Q

TPN additives

A

electrolytes, vitamins, trace elements, pepsid (ulcers), insulin

66
Q

total fluid volume formula

A

1500 + ((wt in kg - 20) x 20) = mL for 24 hours must add sterile water for this injection to the TPN

67
Q

basal energy expenditure for females

A

655.1 + (9.56xW) + (1.85 x H) - (4.68 x age)

68
Q

basal energy expenditure for males

A

66.47 + (13.75xW) + (5 x H) - (6.76 x age)

69
Q

BEE adjusted for activity and stress factors

A

activity - 1 to 1.3 stress - 1.2 to 2.1

70
Q

TPN compounding considerations must:

A
  • adhere to aseptic technique - be able to perform unit version - be aware of peripheral vs central admin - pay attention to stability considerations - triple check calcium and phosphate
71
Q

calcium and phosphate in TPN

A
  • both required electrolytes for nutritional supplementation - calcium is recommended to be given as the gluconate salt - phosphate can be admin as sodium or phosphate salts - ca and PO can form 2 different types of salts with one another depending on pH amino acid solutions can help to bind or chelate the calcium so that it is not able to complex with phosphate
72
Q

calcium and phosphate mixing considerations

A
  • compatibility must be considered at the time of mixing, not based on final volume - addd phosphorous first, calcium last - EFA may mask a precipitate if it should form - higher AA conc lower pH may enhance solubility - avoid CaCl as the source for Ca - routinely agitate the bag to disperse contents and check for particulate matter
73
Q

Compatibility rules of thumb

A

calcium should be no greater than 1:2 ratio with phosphate - total mEq should not exceed 45 mEq/L at the time of mixing mmol = mEq

74
Q

asceptic processing

A

A mode of processing pharmaceutical and medical products that involves the separate sterilization of the product and of the package (containers–closures or packaging material for medical devices) and the transfer of the product into the container and its closure under at least ISO Class 5 conditions

75
Q

85
Q

standard operating procedures used to stock clean room

A

A systematic process of entering and exiting the clean room must be done to minimize contamination. Food, drinks, and gum are prohibited. Shedding paper and cardboard packaging must be removed before the buffer room because they release particles.

86
Q

how to set up your workbench
