Explanation:

To prevent cross - contamination of hazardous medications like chemotherapy drugs, using a separate counting tray ensures that the hazardous substances do not come into contact with other medications. Cleaning with alcohol or rinsing with distilled water may not completely remove all traces of hazardous drugs, and throwing the tray away after each use is wasteful and not practical.

B. Use a separate counting tray
