Answer:

A virus isn’t considered living because it doesn’t need to consume energy to survive, nor is it able to regulate its own temperature. Unlike living organisms that meet their energy needs by metabolic processes that supply energy-rich units of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of life, viruses can survive on nothing. In theory, a virus can drift around indefinitely until it contacts the right kind of cell for it to bind to and infect, thus creating more copies itself

Compounding a sterile IV medication must be done in the pharmacy
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:  The answer is C - clean room.  

Explanation:  You prepare a sterile IV medication in a clean room.  A fume hood is used in a kitchen.  You prepare a sterile IV medication in a clean room, ISO class 7 and inside that room is an ISO class 5 area - either an area that achieves this or inside a primary engineering control.  A PEC is a laminar air flow hood - either horizontal or vertical.  Or, if you do not have an ISO class 7 area, you can use a biological safety cabinet or Compounding Aseptic (CAI) and Containment Isolators (CACI) that can be certified to use a room that is less than ISO class 7.  The only reason you would ever prepare a sterile IV medication on a counter is in an emergency situation for "immediate use."  Immediate use is defined as the entire contents will be used within 60 minutes of the preparation.

In traditional chinese medicine, the life force contained in all living things is called?
ddd [48]

Qi

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is thousands of years old and has altered little through the decades. Its central idea is that a life energy known as Qi flows through the body. Any imbalance to Qi can cause sickness and illness.

Most often, it is believed that this imbalance is brought on by a change in the opposing and complementing energies that make up the Qi. These are termed yin and yang.

The ancient Chinese held that because of our interconnectedness with nature and vulnerability to its effects, we are microcosms of the broader surrounding cosmos. A crucial idea is finding a balance between health and sickness.

TCM medicine tries to restore this equilibrium through treatment customized to the person.
