Across
- 1. Parenteral Nutrition (PPN): Short-term parenteral nutrition with carbohydrates and/or lipids.
- 2. Factor: Drops per milliliter.
- 7. Pressure: The pressure required to maintain equilibrium, with no net movement of solvent.
- 13. Rate: Administration of IV fluids and/ or medication, commonly expressed in mI. per hour.
- 14. A hazardous agent chat reduces or prevents the growth of cancer cells.
- 17. A small, hermetically sealed sterile container.
- 18. Volume Parenteral (LVPs): IV solutions of more than 250 mL. that may contain medications, nutrients, or electrolytes.
- 19. Pharmacy: A specialized practice that compounds and dispenses sterile radioactive pharmaceuticals.
- 22. The act of running fluid through IV tubing to flush out small particles and expel air from the cubing before medication administration.
- 25. Kit: A container of supplies, warning sig-nage, and related materials used to contain the spill of an HD.
- 26. Dose Vial (MDV): A container of sterile medication (water or saline) that contains preservatives used to reconstitute medication powders.
- 27. 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.
- 28. Pressure: 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.
Down
- 1. A substance added in multiple-dose containers to inhibit microbial growth and promote a longer shelf-life.
- 2. An inactive ingredient that is added to the active drug in compounding a tablet, capsule, solution, or topical formulation.
- 3. Value: The degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution; less chan 7 is acidic and more chan 7 is alkaline; the pH of blood is 7.4.
- 4. The natural flow of the molecules in solutions through semi-permeable cell walls.
- 5. The flow pattern with which cells or tissues respond to the compounded solution.
- 6. Che concentration of all molecules in a volume of fluid.
- 8. Method: Placing the needle tip into the inside of the cap and scooping it up before putting pressure on the cap to secure it.
- 9. Volume Parental Solution (SVPs): IV solutions of generally 25 to 250 mL., typically administered as an IV piggyback (infusing into the LVP).
- 10. Dose Vial (SDV): A container of sterile medication for parenteral administration (eg, injection or infusion) that is designed for use with a single patient as a single injec-tion/infusion; a single-dose container does not contain a preservative.
- 11. Saline (NS): A sterile solution containing a concentration of 0.9% sodium chloride in water.
- 12. IV Line: An IV line 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.
- 15. The amount of solution manufacturers add to make up for the loss of water due to evaporation through plastic.
- 16. The technique of inserting a little air pressure and withdrawing a little fluid into a syringe.
- 20. Compatibility: 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.
- 21. Ring: 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.
- 23. Record (log): A record that documents the ingredients, calculations, and compounding process, and any deviations from the master formulation record, which allows for traceability.
- 24. Needle: 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.
