Question

according to usp <797>, which of the following locations should the pharmacy technician use to gown and wipe down supplies that will be used for iv preparation?
options: clean room, pharmacy supply closet, ante room, laminar airflow work bench

Explanation:

For IV preparation in pharmacy, the laminar airflow workbench is a specialized area designed to provide a sterile environment. Gowning and wiping down supplies for IV preparation should occur in this area to maintain sterility. A clean room is a broader sterile area but the laminar airflow workbench is more specific for such tasks. The pharmacy supply closet is for storage, and the ante - room is a buffer area, not the primary area for preparing sterile IV supplies.

Answer:

D. Laminar airflow work bench
