| USP 797 Policies? | includes a strict set of "policies of practices" for hospital pharmacy prrparation of sterile products |
| Drug Shortage? | discontinuation of one brand that may cause temporary shortage of another brand, shortage of a natural product or problems in the "manufacturing process" |
| Extemporaneous compounds? | medications which must be prepared following a "specific recipe or formula", usually because they are not available commercially(for example oral medication) |
| Unit dose? | a package containing the amount of a drug for "one dose" |
| Meds repackaged "except"? | Metered dose inhaler |
| Medication carts? | contain an individual "drawer or tray" for each patient, each individual drawer in a medication cart is filled with daily medication given to a patient |
| "PRN" order? | an order for medication to be administered only on an "as needed" basis |
| (CPOE) "Computerized" Physician Order Entry? | helps eliminate errors due to illegible handwriting. MD "data" entry prescription information into "data" base instead of hand written prescriptions. |
| "Restricted" distribution? | Medications having "limited availability" to cost, manufacturing problems, or safety concerns. |
| IV "Drip" Rounds? | to "reduce" the number of STAT medications and "decrease" shift workload with less pharmacy personnel |

| IV solution (LVPs) Large-Volume-Parentrals- | is more than "250 mL" T |
| Intravenous Preparations Progens- | Chemicals that are produced by microorganisms that cause "FEVER" T |
| Laminar Flow Hoods | Air is drawn through a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter that removes particles larger than "0.3 microns. Remove 99.97" T |
| The surfaces of the hood's work area ULRA CLEAN,but NOT strile | It is necessary to use techniques which maintain the strilty of all strile items called "aseptic techniques" T |
| Horizontal Laminar Flow Hood | Materials should be placed and used at least "6 inches from the opening of the hood and 3 inches from the HEPA filter" T |
| Vertical Laminar Flow Hood & Biological Safety Hood | Protects personnel and the environment from hazardous drugs.-Continuous movement at a uniform rate in one direction T |
| Cleaning Hoods or Cabinets | Turn the hood or cabinet on and let it operat for at least 30 minutes to produce and "ULTRA CLEAN" environment T |
| IV Preparation Guideline | begin all IV preparation by washing your hands thoroughly and rewash whenever you leave and return from the IV work area . all aseptic manipulations should be preformed at least 6 inches within the hood . T |
| IV Preparation Guideline # 2 | a visual inspection of the parenteral solution check for particulate materials T |
| Aseptic Technique | The goal is to allow the manipulations of sterile products with minimal contamination by microorganism T |
| working with vials | vials are closed systems. to pressurize a vial inject a volume of air into the vial equal to the volume of solution T |
| Syringes & Needles | Hub part of the needle the attaches to the syringe.(1)-(hollow center of the needle).(2)-18 has largest lumen and 13 is most likely to cause coring T |
| Filters | HEPA filter efficiency particulate air T |

| Medication Port | the "medication port" on a administration set is covered by a rubber tip T |
| PPE | is glove, face mask and gown T |
| Shaft | the "stem" of the needle that provides the overall length of the needle T |
| TPN | complex solutions wit 2 base solution (amino acids and dextrose and additional micronutrients |
| Isotonic Solution | an isotonic solution is a solution has an osmolarity "= to that of blood", in other words body cells can be bathed without a net flow of water across a semipermeable T |
| Hypertonic Solution | a hypertonic solution when a solution "has a greater osmolarity than that of blood" in other words has more number of particles than the blood cells themselves T |
| Hypotonic Solution | a solution of less than normal tonicity is hypotonic, when a solution "has a lesser osmolarity than that of blood" in other words has fewer number of particles than the blood cells T |
