| Formulation records | Formulas and procedures for what should happen when a formulation is compounded |
| A compounding record | A record of what actually happened when the formulation was compounded |

| Beyond use date | Adata science of compounded prescription Beyond which the formulation should not be used |
| Aliquot | A portion of mixture |
| Calibrates | To set Mark or check the graduation of a measuring device |
| Sensitivity | The amount of weight that will move the balance points are one division mark on the marker plate |
| what are the compounding processes | Measuring mixing molding and packaging |
| What are the set of tools or equipment used for measuring in accordance with compounding | Balances weights weighing containers and volumetric glassware |
| What are the set of tools used for mixing in accordance with compounding | Beakers Erlenmeyer flask spatula fennel sieves and mortar and pestles |
| What are the set of tools used for molding in accordance with compounding | Suppository molds hot plates capsule shells and ointment slabs |
| What is the sensitivity requirement for a Class A torsion valance | 6 milligrams |
| What is the minimum wage of a quantity for a class A torsion balance | 120 milligram with A 5 percent error |
| What happens when a prescription calls for less than 120 milligrams of an ingredient on a Class A torsion balance | When this happens the ingredient is mixed with an inert powder so that the mixing results in at least a hundred and 20 milligrams |
| Besides putting in an ant powder how else can less than 120 milligrams be measured | by using analytical balance |
| what are the general rules for using and maintaining a balance in top condition | Use on a level surface, used weighing papers are weighing boats that are clean, Ares arrest of bounds before adding or removing weight from either pan, use a spatula to add or remove ingredients and always clean the balance |
| What are the rules for using an electronic balance | Move the balance to place-won't be moved again turn the leveling feet all way into the balance & then move them in same direction until level bubble is w/in black circle of the sight glass & for the first use of the day check internal weight calibration |
| Steps one two and three for using a torsion balance | Lock balance by turning arrest knob. Set internal weights to zero. Unlock balance and level it left to right by adjusting the leveling screw feet in opposite directions. |
| Steps for 4 5 and 6 for using a torsion balance | Lock the balance Place away boat or paper on each weighing pan unlock by using the arrest nob |
| Arrest knob | The knob on a balance that prevents any movement of the balance pans |
| In compounding what are measured in volume metric glassware or plastic ware | Liquid drugs solvents and additives |
| Volumetric | Measures volume volumetric vessels are either TD (to deliver)or TC(to contain) |
| To deliver | Means that the vessel must be completely emptied to dispense the needed volume |
| To contain | Means that the vessel does not need to be completely emptied to dispense the needed volume |
| Syringes come in what sizes | And sizes from 0.5 ml to 60 ml |
| What is a meniscus | The curved surface of a column of liquid |
| Syringes are especially useful for measuring and delivering what | Viscous liquid |
| What are oral syringes available for | Accurately administering liquid medication to a patient |
| What are examples of oral syringes | Adapt a cap |
| what are mortars and pestles used for | For mixing solids and semi-solids which are made up of three different materials glass Wedgwood and porcelain |
| Trituration | The process of grinding powders to reduce particle size |
| Sieves | Are used when comp out of powdered needs to be fine particles the powder is passed through a mesh screen that will allow only particles smaller than the measure openings to pass through |
| Geometric dilution | A technique for mixing two powders of unequal quantity |
| Spatulation | mixing powders with a spatula |
| Ointments slabs | Where mixing compounds are done with a spatula |
| Levigation | A technique used to reduce the particle size of a powder by triturating with a solvent |
| Hot plates | This is where solids and semi-solids are mixed by melting them together in a beaker with a special low temperature 25 Celsius to 220 degrees Celsius |
| Most solids and semi-solids used in Pharmaceutical compounding will completely melt by what temperature | 70 degrees Celsius |
| Why should you never Force cooling on semi-solids and regular solids | Because it will change the consistency and texture of the final product |

| Miscible | Capable of being mixed together |
| What are the different types of ointment | Where is homogenious bases absorption bases, Water oil Emulsion bases oil water Emulsion bases and water miscible bases |

| What are some suggestions for compounding an ointment base | Use a water bath/special low temperature hot plate to melt ingredients. It is best to heat aqueous solution faced a few degrees higher be/cuz it cools faster thanmoleagineous phsse. when melting ingredients melt with the highest melting point first |
| What what should you know in the cooling step in an ointment preparation | Do not accelerate the cooling process if adding volatile ingredients at them only when the product is cool and pointment should be cooled just a few degrees above solidification |
