In the world of pharmacy, it has become increasingly common for the technicians and assistants who are minding the store. Pharmacy technicians are the people who help the patients in different ways. The roles of a pharmacy technician have changed so much over the years (Saffer 34). In the past, a pharmacy technician is primary job was to fill prescription. However, now they have several responsibilities dealing with comparing and selling prescriptions to the patients. Pharmacy technicians have the opportunity to specialize in different areas of healthcare, such as advising patients about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and better living.

The plunger, which passes inside the barrel of the syringe, has a flat disc or lip for manipulation at one end and a cone shaped rubber piston at the other. The top collar of the syringe barrel helps prevent the syringe from slipping during manipulation, while the tip provides the point of the attachment for a needle. Syringes are available in a variety of sizes from 0.5 milliliter to 60 milliliter. When measuring with a syringe, the final edge of the plunder piston, which comes in contact with the syringe barrel, should be lined up to the graduation mark on that corresponds to the volume desired. These are the syringe tip and the plunger. Most syringes are also packaged with a protector over the syringe tip. The syringe tip protector should be left in place until ready for needle attachment.
The critical principle of laminar flow hood utilization is that nothing must interrupt that nothing must interrupt the flow of air between the HEPA filter and a sterile object. The introduction of a foreign object between a sterile object and the HEPA filter presents the possibility that contaminants from the foreign may be carried onto the sterile object. To maintain sterility, nothing should pass behind a sterile object in a horizontal flow hood,or above a sterile object in a vertical flow

This includes cleaning soluitions, aspirate from syringes, or glass from ampoules, which should not be broken directly toward the filter. A laminar flow hood should be positioned away from excess traffic, doors air vents, fans, or anything that could produce air currents capable of introducing contaminants into the hood.
All needles consist of two parts: the shaft and the hub. The hub is used to attach the needle to the syringe. The tip of the needle shaft is slanted to form a point, with the slant called the bevel and the point called the bevel tip. The opposite end of the slant is termed the bevel heel. A needle shaft is usually metal and is lubricated with a sterile silicone coating. For this reason, needles should never be swabbed with alcohol. Needles should be manipulated by their protective cover only.
Inject able medications are usually supplied in vials or ampoules, each requiring different techniques for withdrawal of the medication. Before entering a vial, it is necessary to spray or swab the rubber closure on the top of the vial with 70% isopropyl alcohol. An alcohol swab should be used only once and on only one

...f the clamps on the tubing to allow the IV solution to run freely. Slowly, decrease the flow of the solution to the appropriate rate as ordered by the physician. Using a small gauze pad, wipe away any excess blood or fluid on the surface of the skin. Then, using the pre-torn pieces of tape, secure the catheter hub and the IV tubing to the patient’s skin. Take extra caution not to kink the tubing. Once everything is secured, recheck the IV solution’s flow and then attend to the rest of your patients needs.

Standing at the starting line of the full marathon I felt anxious and nervous. Not only was I excited to accomplish this goal, but also I was nervous about the difficulty of this task. However, when I crossed the finish line and accomplished this goal, I realized that a new and possibly more difficult goal was about to start. This goal was not only to complete Physician Assistant School but it was to strive to excel in a career as a Physician Assistant in a rural primary care setting. Driven by my intrinsic personal traits of leadership, compassion, and commitment, I am motivated to achieve this goal of excelling in my career as a Physician Assistant.
...adjusted at any time if needed. Needles are never fun and the thought of having to be stuck by one every day may be horrifying to some, but have no fear there is but one more option. A patient may opt out of injections, if ok by doctor, and take the oral medications. The oral medication, that is prescribed, helps stimulate the pancreas so that it will produce and release insulin on its own. Although, there are many different options to manage diabetes the use of any of these techniques must first be okayed by the patient’s primary doctor.
To avoid contamination as best as possible, if washing hands according to SOP1 is not possible, wearing gloves and spraying with 70% ethanol is also acceptable for the procedure. Furthermore, not touching the ends of the needle and filter are absolutely essential in avoiding contamination thus applying them to the syringe whilst the ends are still in their sterile packaging will aid the prevention of contamination. When not in use placing the syringe on its plunger creates a smaller surface area for the contaminants to attach to as well. Loosening the lids of the broth tubes before placing in the Biohazard cabinet ensures easier removal when required thus less exposure time of the opened end to the environment allowing contaminants in.
Be sure to clean the syringe and measuring cylinder after every use to prevent cross contamination.

In addition, we were asked to come in an identify the number attempts made for the insertion of veress needle per protocol we were off the midline and at a previous laparoscopic incision site and we attempted three times each time with a negative water drop test. Then we moved a little bit more lateral to a new incision site and at this time we attempted one time and were able to successfully place the veress needle and successfully do the water drop which indicated that the veress needle is free within the peritoneal cavity insufflation and place our additional
