Washington Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence MPJE Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 445

What is considered contaminated and requires disposal in a separate, clearly marked container?

Expired drugs

Personal Protective Equipment used while handling hazardous drugs

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) used while handling hazardous drugs is considered contaminated and requires disposal in a separate, clearly marked container. This is because PPE is used to protect the person handling hazardous drugs from any potential hazards and contaminants. Once used, the PPE may have come into contact with these hazardous substances and should be disposed of properly to prevent any potential exposure. The other options, such as expired drugs, unused prescription medications, and packaging materials, may also require proper disposal, but they do not necessarily need a separate container or marking as they do not pose the same level of contamination as PPE used while handling hazardous drugs.
