Question

question 6

which supply is necessary when drawing from a glass ampule to prevent glass particles from entering the medication solution?

• syringe
• transfer needle
• male adapter
• filter needle

question 7

which of the following international organization for standardization (iso) class standards is required for a direct compounding area (dca)?

• iso 7

Explanation:

Question 6 Analysis

Using the Filter Needle Use and Ampule Drawing Technique knowledge points

• Glass ampules must be snapped open at the neck, which can introduce microscopic glass shards into the solution.
• To prevent these glass particles from being drawn into the syringe or injected into a patient, a filter needle (typically containing a 5-micron filter) must be used during either the withdrawal or the injection step (but never both).
• Therefore, the necessary supply is a filter needle.

Question 7 Analysis

Using the Sterile Compounding knowledge point

• The Direct Compounding Area (DCA) is the critical area within the primary engineering control (PEC) where critical sites are exposed to unidirectional HEPA-filtered air.
• According to USP <797> standards, the air quality within the PEC (and thus the DCA) must maintain an ISO Class 5 environment under dynamic operating conditions.
• Therefore, ISO Class 5 is the required standard for the DCA.

Answer:

Question 6

• Syringe
• Transfer needle
• Male adapter
• Filter needle (Correct answer)

Question 7

• ISO 5 (Correct answer)
• ISO 7
