Besides preventing breakage and spillage, what else is important in the storage of hazardous drugs?

  1. Storing on high shelves without lips

  2. Not storing HDs on the floor

  3. Keeping HDs in direct sunlight

  4. Using easily breakable containers

The correct answer is: Not storing HDs on the floor

In the storage of hazardous drugs, it is important to not only prevent breakage and spillage, but also to not store HDs on the floor. Option A and D are incorrect because storing on high shelves without lips and using easily breakable containers can both increase the risk of breakage and spillage. Option C is incorrect because keeping HDs in direct sunlight can actually degrade and reduce the potency of the drugs. Thus, storing HDs on the floor is the most important factor to consider in hazardous drug storage.
