Answers |Latest Update |Already Graded A+
Ampule ✔Correct Answer-A sealed, glass container which contains one dose of a medication,
broken at the neck for opening.
Antechamber ✔Correct Answer-First chamber separated from the main chamber in a CAI or
CACI, used for staging materials until the worker is ready for compounding
Barrel ✔Correct Answer-Cylindrical-shaped area of a syringe that keeps liquids contained
within the syringe; has calibration marks for accurate measurement of contained liquids
Bevel ✔Correct Answer-Slanted opening at the top of the needle
Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) ✔Correct Answer-A vertical flow hood, has a clear shield which
covers part of the hood as an additional protective mechanism for compounding hazardous
drugs, air flows vertically down over the compounding area and then is vented out to protect
the worker
Calibration Marks ✔Correct Answer-Syringe markings used to accurately measure the
appropriate volume of liquid
Compounding Aseptic Containment Isolator (CACI) ✔Correct Answer-Glovebox isolator which
uses negative pressure for compounding hazardous medications
Compounding Aseptic Isolator (CAI) ✔Correct Answer-Glovebox isolator which uses positive
pressure for compounding nonhazardous medications
Coring ✔Correct Answer-When pieces of the rubber stopper of a vial fall into the liquid upon
puncturing the vial, contaminates the liquid inside the vial
Critical sites ✔Correct Answer-Certain parts of sterile compounding supplies that must never
be touched so as to remain sterile during the compounding process
Diluent ✔Correct Answer-A liquid used to reconstitute a powdered medication into a liquid,
usually normal saline or sterile water.
Drip chamber ✔Correct Answer-Part of an IV administration set, used to calculate the IV flow
rate
Flange ✔Correct Answer-Finger rest attached to the syringe barrel
, Guage ✔Correct Answer-The diameter of a needle OT width of the needle opening
HEPA Filter ✔Correct Answer-Special filter which can filter 99.97% of particles0.3 micron or
larger, must be certified every 6 months
Hub ✔Correct Answer-Base of the needle which attaches to the syringe
Hypodermic or Regular Needle ✔Correct Answer-Used to inject into or withdraw fluid from
the body, a vial, administration set or IV bag
Infusion Pump ✔Correct Answer-An automatic device used to infuse medications at a precise
rate into a patient's main IV line
Injection Port ✔Correct Answer-Opening in an IV bag, which is used for injecting additives by
a technician
IVA Seals ✔Correct Answer-Foil covers placed over the injection port of an IV bag to indicate
contents have been added and help prevent contamination
Laminar Airflow Workbench (LAFW) ✔Correct Answer-Device used for mixing no hazardous
sterile compounds, must be on for 30 minutes prior to use.
Large-Volume Parenterals (LVP) ✔Correct Answer-Larger-volume bags (500 and 1000 mL),
used for continuous IV infusions or hydration replacement
Luer-Lock ✔Correct Answer-A type of syringe to which a needle can be screwed on in order to
attach securely
Luer-to-Luer Connector ✔Correct Answer-A system used to transfer the contents of one
syringe into another without needles
Lumen ✔Correct Answer-Hollow part of needle
Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) Pump ✔Correct Answer-A device used to enable a patient
to self administer, within set limits, pain medication
Piston ✔Correct Answer-Black plastic tip attached to a syringe plunger used to accurately
measure the substance in a syringe
Plunger ✔Correct Answer-A pump located in the barrel of the syringe the allows liquids to be
pushed out or pulled into the syringe
Prefilter ✔Correct Answer-The first filtration of room air entering a compounding device
before HEPA filtration, must be changed monthly
