Is the syringe a single-use syringe-needle combination, or is it used repeatedly if the drugs and containers are part of a batch series of preparations?
Both are correct. Basically it is one preparation/one syringe. But if the pharmacist has multiple preparations using the same drug, a single syringe can be used for more than one preparation (in order to speed up throughput). There is also the customary case of a preparation using one drug and some additions to the IV Admixture (e.g., vitamins, anti-emetics, etc.); in which case each dose component is managed with a different syringe-needle combination.
