What they are checking: Whether they can supervise operations, check sterile compounding and keep workflow moving.

About the work

You're verifying a vancomycin order for a patient whose creatinine has doubled since yesterday. What do you do?

A team asks you to recommend anticoagulation for a patient with a new DVT who also has kidney disease. Walk me through your thinking.

What do you check when verifying a sterile compounded IV product?
