Question
Answer
it's illegal to compound   commercially available products  
🗑
a counter balance is a 2-pan balance used for   larger weights (up to 5kg), has a sensitivity requiremetn in the range of +/- 100mg, & are used for bulk materials (not for compounding)  
🗑
ingredients & weights should be   placed on paper in C3 rx balancing  
🗑
a C3 balance is also known as   a "class a" balance  
🗑
weighing paper is for avoiding contact between the   tray & the ingredients  
🗑
weighing paper is also called   powder paper  
🗑
a digital electronic balance has a   single pan, it's easy to use, it's more accurate & expensive ($2,500+)  
🗑
digital electronic analytical balances have a capacity of   100g & sensitivity as low as +/- 1mg  
🗑
the balances have polished brass with noncorrosive coating with   both metric & apothecary weights  
🗑
forceps are used to grasp small objects to avoid   hands natural oils which can change weight of objects  
🗑
hard rubber spatulas are often used for   corrosive material  
🗑
a plate is made of   ground glass that mixes compounds  
🗑
parchment paper can be   used if nonabsorbent  
🗑
mortar & pestle can be made of   corse grained porcelain or "wedwood" used for pulverizing  
🗑
smooth glass mortar & pestles are for   liquids & semisolids  
🗑
a compounding slab is also called   an "ointment slab"  
🗑
cylinders, pipettes, & beakers can be   glass or polypropylene  
🗑
a conical cylinders is   wide topped & narrow based or cylindrical  
🗑
conicals are   metric & apothecary  
🗑
cylinders are calibrated in   metric units (more accurate)  
🗑
beakers are less accurate than cylinders and measure   large liquid volumes when precision isn't necessary  
🗑
pipettes measure liquids less than   1.5mL  
🗑
hoods, masks, & gowns are used when   preparing powders  
🗑
there are capsule   machines & tablet presses  
🗑
autoclaves sterilize   instruments  
🗑
incubators culture   products  
🗑

🗑
usp chpt. 795 specifies to wash hands first, to dispose   gloves after, & keep food out of the staging area  
🗑
electronical balances are   prefered, must be perfectly leveled, warmed & calibrated up for use, locked when not used, & cleaned afterwards  
🗑
C3 rx balance is enough for   occasional use  
🗑
measurement error is   expected sometimes  
🗑
allowances are made for   some %age errors  
🗑
%age error formula is   error amount/desired amountX100  
🗑
error %age is an acceptable range of   variations over/under measurement  
🗑
must work within an   acceptable error range  
🗑
use the smallest device that holds the required   volume & measure at eye level at the bottom of the meniscus  
🗑
the meniscus is the   moon-shaped/concave liquid appearance in a cylinder  
🗑
to compound, techs should get a   master control record, ingredients, equipment, & mixing directions  
🗑
most have uninterrupted   adequate time  
🗑
master control record or pharmacists can give   the best mixing techniques  
🗑
comminution is the process of   reducing things to fine particles  
🗑
trituration rubs or grinds things to get   fine particles like with mortar and pestle  
🗑
