    • Piggybacks

    • Hypotonic

    • SVP

    Correct Answer
    A. Piggybacks
    Explanation
    Piggybacks refer to small volume solutions that are connected to a large volume parenteral (LVP) bag or container. These solutions are typically administered alongside the main medication or fluid being infused. They are used to deliver additional medications, electrolytes, or nutrients without the need for a separate IV line. Piggybacks are commonly used in healthcare settings to avoid the need for multiple IV access points and to simplify medication administration.

    Which parenteral solution is not required to be sterile?

    • Subcutaneous injection

    • Vaginal

    • Intranasal

    • Inhalation

    Correct Answer
    A. Vaginal
    Explanation
    Unlike subcutaneous injection, intranasal, and inhalation routes, the vaginal route does not require the parenteral solution to be sterile. The vaginal environment has its own natural defense mechanisms, such as a low pH and presence of beneficial bacteria, which can help prevent infection. Therefore, it is not necessary for the parenteral solution used in the vaginal route to be sterile.

    • TNA

    • TPA

    • Admixture

    • Ready-to-mix

    Correct Answer
    A. TPA
    Explanation
    The given answer "TPA" is correct because TPA stands for "Total Parenteral Nutrition Admixture," which refers to a complex solution used in parenteral nutrition. TPA contains two base solutions, amino acids, and dextrose, along with additional micro-nutrients. It is a ready-to-mix admixture used for patients who cannot consume food orally and need to receive nutrition intravenously.

    When using the laminar flow hood, a technician should work inside the hood at least

    • Two inches

    • Four inches

    • Six inches

    • Eight inches

    Correct Answer
    A. Six inches
    Explanation
    When using a laminar flow hood, a technician should work inside the hood at least six inches away from the opening. This distance is necessary to ensure that the technician does not disrupt the laminar airflow, which is a controlled and sterile environment created by the hood. By working at least six inches away, the technician minimizes the risk of introducing contaminants or disrupting the sterile conditions within the hood.
