Non-hazardous sterile compounding involves the preparation of customized sterile medications, such as injectables or eye drops, in a controlled environment. This process ensures that the medications are free from contaminants and are safe for patient use. It is typically performed using aseptic techniques to maintain sterility, without involving hazardous materials or drugs that pose a significant risk to health.
Hazardous sterile compounding involves the preparation of sterile medications that contain ingredients considered hazardous, such as chemotherapy drugs or other substances that can pose a risk to health. This process requires specialized equipment and strict safety protocols to protect both the healthcare provider and the patient from potential exposure to toxic substances. Aseptic techniques are used to maintain sterility while ensuring safe handling and containment of hazardous materials.
Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) is a medical treatment that provides essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line.

TPN is tailored to meet the individual nutritional needs of the patient.
