In Chapter 13, you learned that TPN preparation requires IV technicians to undergo additional training, testing, and process validation. In addition, TPN preparers must pass a more complicated and difficult media-fill test procedure than those technicians who do not prepare TPNs. With that in mind, what is the rationale for mandating more advanced training and testing for sterile compounding personnel who prepare TPNs? Do you believe that the preparation on TPNs warrants its designation as a medium-high risk activity, a higher level than most other sterile compounding procedure? Why or why not?
