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.

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 18.
