Read the first 7 Storage, Handling, and Transport flashcards as text

  1. A CSP labeled 'Protect from Light' must be stored in which of the following?

    Answer: Amber vial or light-resistant packaging

    Amber vials or light-resistant packaging block UV and visible light that can degrade photosensitive compounds.

  2. Which temperature range is defined as 'controlled room temperature' (CRT) per USP standards?

    Answer: 15°C to 30°C

    USP defines controlled room temperature as 20°C–25°C with excursions permitted between 15°C and 30°C.

  3. When transporting a hazardous CSP within a facility, what is the PRIMARY purpose of using a sealed, leak-proof container?

    Answer: To prevent spills and protect staff from exposure

    Sealed, leak-proof transport containers for hazardous drugs primarily protect personnel from accidental exposure during transit.

  4. A batch of CSPs is discovered to have been stored at 10°C instead of the required 2°C–8°C refrigeration range. What is the appropriate first action?

    Answer: Quarantine and evaluate per facility deviation procedures

    Temperature excursions require quarantine and a formal deviation evaluation to determine whether products are still safe and effective.

  5. Which USP chapter governs the handling, storage, and transport of hazardous drugs in healthcare settings?

    Answer: USP

    USP specifically addresses hazardous drug handling, including storage, transport, and personnel protection requirements.

  6. A CSP requiring frozen storage is thawed and not used. Under USP , it may generally NOT be refrozen because:

    Answer: Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can degrade drug potency and sterility assurance

    Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause physical degradation, potency loss, and increased microbial risk in CSPs.

  7. Which document should accompany a CSP during off-site transport to ensure proper chain-of-custody and storage compliance?

    Answer: A transport log recording temperature monitoring and departure/arrival times

    A transport log with temperature data and timing provides documented evidence that storage conditions were maintained during transit.
