THE POLICY FOR MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION IN THE OPERATING ROOM STATES "DELIVER THE MEDICATION TO THE STERILE FIELD IN AN ASEPTICALLY CORRECT MANNER, IE: DRAW MEDICATIONS FROM VIALS INTO A SYRINGE AND DELIVER TO A MEDICATION CUP." DO NOT REMOVE THIS FROM THE VIAL TO DISPENSE MEDICATIONS TO THE STERILE FIELD. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DELIVER MEDICATIONS ASEPTICALLY IN THIS MANNER. DECANTERS ARE STOCKED IN OR FOR THIS PURPOSE

Lead aprons and thyroid shields should be stored flat or hung vertically. They should not be folded, as they are suseptible to cracking which will reduce the effectiveness as a barrier. The Lead aprons and thyroid shields should be tested in this time span.

This type of reaction occurs immediately after exposure in very sensitive people. Hypertension, confusion, weak pulse, N/V, difficulty breathing are all signs.
What is Anaphylactic shock? The most serious allergic reaction.

According to ANSI, facilities in which laser procedures are performed must develop a laser safety program to include, but not be limited to delegation of authority and responsibility for supervising laser safety to a laser safety officer. Reston Hospital's laser safety officer is this person.

Ionizing radiation alters enzymes, proteins and cell membranes as well as genetic material. Radiation exposure can also lead to these 6 disorders. (Name at least 4 disorders)
What are bone marrow injury, burns, cataracts, cancer genetic mutations and congenital anomalies?
400
This type of allergy occurs if there has been previous exposure to Latex and have become sensitized.This is a true latex allergy to latex or chemical. It is the immune system reacting to the protein in natural rubber latex. This type of reaction is usually immediate and can cause itching, redness, swelling, sneezing and wheezing, cough, hives, itchy watery eyes, difficulty breathing.
What is IgE (Type I) mediated allergy?

There are 4 types of lasers used at Reston Hospital Center; name them.
What are the CO2, Holmium, Angiodynamics, and Green light?

Appropriately administered these would reduce perioperative ischemia, especially in patients considered to be at risk. Nearly half of fatal cardiac events are preventable with this therapy.
What are BETA BLOCKERS? (Beta blockers block the effect of norepinephrine and epinephrine, they reduce heart rate; reduce blood pressure by dilating blood vessels; and may constrict air passages by stimulating the muscles that surround the air passages to contract. For what conditions are beta blockers used? abnormal heart rhythm, high blood pressure, heart failure, angina (chest pain), tremor, pheochromocytoma, and prevention of migraines. They also have been found to prevent further heart attacks and death after a heart attack. Other uses include the treatment of hyperthyroidism, akathisia (restlessness or inability to sit still), and anxiety. Some beta blockers reduce the production of aqueous humor in the eye and therefore are used for reducing pressure in the eye caused by glaucoma.

In 1917 Einstein theorized that through an atomic process a unique kind of electromagnetc radiation could be produced by stimulated emission. When such radiation is in the optical or infrared spectrum it is termed laser. LASER is an acronym for this.
What is Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation?
