Across
- 1. placing the needle tip into the inside of the cap and scooping it up before putting pressure on the cap to secure it
- 3. a substance added in multiple dose containers to inhibit microbial growth and promote a longer shelf life
- 5. the pressure required to maintain equilibrium, with no net movement of solvent
- 8. administration of IV fluids and/or medication, commonly expressed in mL per hour
- 11. a small, hermetically sealed sterile container
- 14. the flow pattern with which cells or tissues respond to the compounded solution
- 15. drops per millimeter
- 16. a container of supplies, warning signage, and related materials used to contain the spill of an HD
- 19. the natural flow of the molecules in solutions through semi-permeable cell walls
- 20. IV solutions of more than 250 mL that many contain medications, nutrients, or electrolytes
- 21. a sterile solution containing a concentration of 0.9% sodium chloride in water
- 26. short-term parenteral nutrition with carbohydrates and/or lipids
- 27. a scored area on the neck of an ampule that marks the site where a technician will break the glass to access the ampule’s contents
- 28. an IV live that is connected to a catheter inserted in a peripheral vein in a limb rather than in a main blood vein leading to the heart
- 29. Pharmacy a specialized practice that compounds and dispenses sterile radioactive pharmaceuticals
- 30. the concentration of all molecules in a volume of fluid
Down
- 2. the ability of two or more base components to combine in solution or with other solutions (such as another IV solution or blood serum) without resulting in physical or chemical property changes to any of them
- 4. a hazardous agent that reduces or prevents the growth of cancer cells
- 6. the technique of interesting a little air pressure and withdrawing a little fluid into a syringe
- 7. a container of sterile medication for parenteral administration (e.g., injection or infusion) that is designed for use with a single patient as a single injection/infusion; a single-dose container does not contain a preservation
- 9. the act of running fluid through IV tubing to flush out small particles and expel air from the tubing before medication administration
- 10. the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution; less than 7 is acidic and more than 7 is alkaline; the pH of blood is 7.4
- 12. a needle that is equipped with a 5-micron (or finer) filter within its core to catch any microscopic glass shards and impurities to prevent them from entering the CSP
- 13. IV solutions of generally 25-250 mL. Typically administered as an IV piggyback (infusing into the LVP)
- 17. a record that documents the ingredients, calculations, and compounding process, and any deviations from the master formulation record, which allows for traceability
- 18. a room that is at a lower pressure from adjacent rooms because air is suctioned out into an external filtered exhaust system to protect the compounding personnel from the hazardous agents
- 22. a container of sterile medication (water or saline) that contains preservatives used to reconstitute medication powders
- 23. the amount of solution manufacturers add to make up for the loss of water due to evaporation through plastic
- 24. an inactive ingredient that is added to the active drug in compounding a tablet, capsule, solution, or topical formulation
- 25. more than one unit of CSP prepared in a single process for more than one patient and intended to have uniform characteristics and quality, within specified limits
