Question | Answer |
---|---|
the most sterile area to compound is | the DCA (direct compounding area) |
in the dca, must compound under the | laminar airflow work bench |
the clean room (separate from the rest of the pharm]) contains the | buffer, staging, & direct compound area |
long term storage in the clean room is | not permitted |
items that can be taken from the sterile compound to the dca are | very specific items |
the lafw is | the laminar airflow workbench |
the hepa's laf hood filters out | particulate matter |
compound sterile preps (csp) that are non-hazardous are done in the | horizontal lafw |
compound sterile preps (csp) that are hazardous (like chemo therapy drugs) are done in the | verticle lafw |
in the horizontal lafw; the air flows | from the back of the hood, across the surface, & out to the room |
the hepa removes | 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns or larger |
the horizontal lafw is a special biological safety cabinet for | iv drug admixtures, nutrition solutions, & other aspetic parentals |
in the verticle hepa lawf; the air flows | from the top of the hood, down through a prefilter and a hepa filter onto the work surface, & then ciculate through another hepa filter and vented outside |
coughing & talking must be done in an area | away from the hood & workbench |
the lawf's have routine cleaning using | 70% ipa daily |
before entering the ante area (where the cleansing takes place) | all outerwear must be removed |
from the ante area to the buffer area, | hand hygiene continues before glove wearing (sometimes double gloving is the last step) |
the risk levels for contamination are | low, medium, & high |
steriles that were handled with aseptic teqniques are included in | low level risks |
medium risks include | multiple sterile product combined using an automated device or transference from multiple sterile containers in 1 final container like tpn's with 3+ electrolytes/vitamins |
all high risk csp's are sterilized with a | 0.22 micron filter, autoclaving, or dry heat |
to work in the clean room, | extensive skills & training are needed |
also to work in the clean room, | written tests & skill assessments must be passed and additional certification may be required |
the icc is the | infection control committee |
the icc (within the hospital) gives | leadership with infection control policies |
nosocomial infection is | bacterial diseases passed in hospitals from any source to the patients and others |
nosocomial infection is also called | healthcare-associated infection |
the icc also makes sure that the hospitals in compliance with | the joint commision, the cdc, & the usp chpt. 797 |
the icc sets | policies & plans, monitors, evaluates, updates, and educates nosocomial survaillance |
healthcare workers are also | treated and protected within healthcare settings |
universal precautions are | procedures followed to prevent infections in healthcare settings |
