CSPT Hazardous Drug Compounding 4

Question 1

Which ventilation principle is required in a C-PEC used for hazardous drug compounding to protect personnel?

Accepted Answer

Inward airflow that captures contaminants before reaching the operator

Answer

Containment primary engineering controls (C-PECs) for hazardous drugs use inward (negative pressure) airflow to capture and contain contaminants, protecting the operator.

Question 2

A pharmacy receives a new medication. Which resource is the FIRST to consult to determine if it requires hazardous drug handling precautions?

Accepted Answer

NIOSH List of Antineoplastic and Other Hazardous Drugs

Answer

The NIOSH List of Hazardous Drugs is the primary reference used to classify whether a drug requires special handling precautions in healthcare settings.

Question 3

When compounding a hazardous drug, a technician accidentally spills a small amount on the C-PEC work surface. What is the correct immediate action?

Accepted Answer

Remove all items, don a second pair of gloves, and use the HD spill kit

Answer

A spill inside the C-PEC requires stopping work, donning additional PPE, and using the designated hazardous drug spill kit per USP <800> protocols.

Question 4

Under USP <800>, what is the minimum required air pressure relationship between the hazardous drug buffer room and the ante-room?

Accepted Answer

Buffer room must be negative relative to ante-room

Answer

USP <800> requires the hazardous drug buffer room to maintain negative pressure relative to the ante-room to prevent contamination from escaping into adjoining areas.

Question 5

Which of the following is classified as a Group 2 hazardous drug under NIOSH criteria?

Accepted Answer

Warfarin (reproductive risk only, non-antineoplastic)

Answer

NIOSH Group 2 includes non-antineoplastic drugs that meet one or more hazard criteria; warfarin poses a reproductive risk, placing it in Group 2.
