| what techniques can be used for troubleshooting aspiration from a central line? | moving head side to side, shrugging shoulders, coughing |
| what is a Dacron cuff? | it helps stabilize tunneled venous access devices |
| what is it called if you look at the name of a drug in the USP? | the official name |
| Act that prohibits sale of medical preparations that had little or no use and restricted sale of drugs with potential for abuse, names USP and National Formulary (NF) as official drug standards | Pure Food and Drug Act 1906 |
| Act that controls importation, manufacture, and sale of opium, coca plant and derivatives | Harrison Narcotic Act 1914 |
