Read the first 6 Storage, Handling, and Transport flashcards as text

  1. When shipping CSPs to a home infusion patient, what documentation must accompany the shipment?

    Answer: Patient-specific instructions for storage, handling, administration, and emergency contact information

    Home infusion shipments must include complete patient instructions for storage, handling, administration, and emergency contacts.

  2. What is the proper procedure for handling a CSP accidentally frozen during storage?

    Answer: Assess the product as freezing can compromise stability; most should be discarded

    Unintentional freezing can damage many CSPs. Unless stability data supports use after freeze-thaw, the CSP should be discarded.

  3. How should controlled substance CSPs be stored differently?

    Answer: In a locked limited-access area with perpetual inventory documentation and additional security

    Controlled substance CSPs must be in a locked secure area with restricted access and perpetual inventory records per DEA regulations.

  4. What factors determine the beyond-use date assigned to a CSP?

    Answer: Compounding category, storage conditions, sterility testing results, stability data, and earliest expiring ingredient

    BUD assignment considers multiple interacting factors. The final BUD must be the most restrictive of all factors.

  5. What is the purpose of a temperature mapping study for a CSP storage area?

    Answer: To identify hot spots, cold spots, and temperature distribution patterns within the storage device

    Temperature mapping characterizes the thermal performance of storage devices by placing multiple sensors throughout.

  6. How should returned or unused CSPs be handled?

    Answer: Evaluate against return criteria; if storage conditions cannot be verified, discard

    If there is any doubt that storage conditions were maintained, the CSP must be discarded.
