What is a prefilled/preloaded syringe?
|
syringe packaged in a tamper proof container with the medication already in the barrel.
|
|
What is a medicated solution?
|
parenteral medication packeaged in an IV bag and administered as an IV infusion
|
|
An infusion is?
|
liquid medication delivered through a vein.
|
|
What routes are listed as parenteral?
|
Intradermal injection
Subcutaneous injection Intramuscular injection Intravenous Acess Intraosseous infusion |
|
Within the dermal layer of the skin.
|
Intradermal
|
|
What does subcutaneous mean?
|
relates to the layer of loose connective tissue between the skin and muscle.
|
|
How does subcutaneous injection work?
|
The tissue has few blood vessels and thus promotes slow, sustained absorption, which prolongs a drug's effect on the body.
|
|
Intramuscular means
|
Within the muscle
|
|

|
Intravenous fluid
|
|
Intravenous solutions containing large proteins that cannot pass through capillary membranes
|
Colloids
|
|
Crystalloids
|
Intravenous solutions that contain electrolytes but lack the larger proteins associated with colloids.
|
|
List crystalloid classes. Hint: 3 of them

|
|
State at which solutions on opposite sides of a semipermeable membrane are in equal concentrations
|
Isotonic
|
|
State in which a solution has a higher solute concentration on one side of a semipermeable membrane than on the other side
|
Hypertonic
|
|
State in which a solution has a lower solute concentration on one side of a semipermeable membrane than on the other side
|
