Diamox. Acetohexamide is a antidiabetic and the other two "drugs"
don't exist.
16. Do we have to label a syringe that's drawn and then not laid down before
it's injected into the patient?
a) yes b) no
A. No. If a syringe is drawn and then not laid down, it doesn't
require labeling. So, for example, if the anesthesiologist draws up
propofol and then turns and injects the propofol into the patient,
you wouldn't have to label that syringe. Conversely, if he places the
syringe down and it's not for immediate use, then it must have all of
the required labeling elements.
17. Quick matching quiz. Sometimes generic names are so frequently used that
we have to be aware of both the proprietary (trade) name as well as the
generic, as in the case of Demerol and meperidine. Match the names on the
right column to those on the left:
Benadryl a) naloxone
Narcan b) hydrocodone
Robinul c) diphenhydramine
Vicodin d) hydromorphone
Dilaudid e) glycopyrrolate
A Benadryl is c) diphenhydramine
Narcan is a) naloxone
Robinul is e) glycopyrrolate
Vicodin is b) hydrocodone (plus acetaminophen)
Dilaudid is d) hydromorphone
