Alaris pump programming module Exam questions and
answers
When spiking a bottle or semi-rigid contain that requires venting, ensure the vent
is closed when the container is spiked. Keep the vent closed until you have filled
the drip chamber 2/3 full to avoid wetting the vent.
True
When setting up the Alaris system, ensure the system is as close to the patients
heart level as possible
True
A facility can define Clinical Advisories for specific entries within the Guardrails
library that display in the form of a green screen with a message the user must
confirm.
True
After removing the set from the package, perform the following to prime the line
(select all that apply):
A) Close the roller clamp
B) Do not stretch the tubing, especially the pumping segment
C) Spike and hang the primary container
D) Slowly open the roller clamp and prime slowly to minimize turbulence
A, B, C, D
Basic infusions cannot be promoted to a Guardrails Suite MX intermittent drug.
They can only be promoted to a Guardrails Suite MX continuous infusion
true
When loading primary IV tubing into the BD alaris pump module (select all that
apply):
A) open the module door
B) Hold the upper fitment above the fitment recess and lower it down into the
recess
C) Be certain there are no twists in the tubing
D) Press the blue safety clamp into the recess
E) Firmly push the tubing toward the back of the air-in-line detector
F) gently close the module door
G) open the roller clamp and verify no fluid is flowing through the drip chamber
A, B, C, D, E , F , G
The primary fluid container should be approximately 20 inches above the top of
the pump module
True
Properly primed sets assist with minimizing air-in-line issues and optimized
infusion delivery
True
once a patient weight is entered and the infusion is started, the patient weight is
automatically entered for any additional weight-based calculation. Since it
remains an editable field, the patient weight can be adjusted for any module.
True
