MODULE 17: KEY TERMS

Unit dose systems and medication repackaging

QuestionAnswer
Adherence aids: Devices or systems that remind patients to take the correct amount of medication at the correct time. May also be referred to as compliance aids.
Beyond-use date: Expiration date in which a compounded sterile preparation may not be stored or transported.
Dial-a-dose dispenser: Dispensing devices in which the top plastic circle is dialed from day to day and a tablet or capsule is exposed or drops out of the container, ready for consumption.
Dosage spoons: Devices designed for administering medication, accurately measuring doses, and minimizing spillage.
Dose planners: Compartmentalized containers that track daily or weekly dosing to support medication adherence. Medications are added to the container the beginning of the day or week with the proper number of doses.
Droppers: Tools that measure out small amounts of a liquid to increase accuracy of dosing.
Emergency kits: Kits that store and organize emergency equipment and medications so that they are readily available when needed. Also known as code carts or crash carts.
Expiration date: A date assigned by the manufacturer that signals when the medication potency can no longer be ensured. If only the month and year are listed, the expiration date is the last day of the month.
Floor stock: Medications kept on a specific floor for easy access, usually locked up in a medication cabinet.
Shelf life: The period during which properly stored, unopened packages of medication can be sold because their potency is still expected to be intact.
Short-dated items: Products that are within a year of expiration. Manufacturers often unload these items on a pharmacy to dispense as a lower cost.
Tablet splitters: Devices that divide tablets to support accurate breaking of medication per dosing instructions.
