Question

which of the following is the proper technique for sterile compounding? single - dose vials should be used more than once because they contain a preservative. filter needles should be used when removing volume from a multi - dose vial. when compounding in a vertical flow hood, hands should be placed over or outside of the work area to improve airflow. hazardous drugs, such as chemotherapy, should never be compounded in a horizontal flow hood.

Explanation:

Single - dose vials should not be used more than once to prevent contamination. Filter needles are used when withdrawing volume from a multi - dose vial to prevent particulate matter from entering the solution. When compounding in a vertical laminar flow hood, hands should be placed below the work surface to minimize turbulence. Hazardous drugs like chemotherapy drugs should be compounded in a vertical laminar flow hood for safety reasons.

Answer:

Filter needles should be used when removing volume from a multi - dose vial.
