Under what condition may sterile and non-sterile compounding occur in the same room?

When they are separated by at least 1 meter
They can always share the same space without restrictions
Only if one is not in operation
If only non-hazardous drugs are being compounded

The correct answer is: When they are separated by at least 1 meter

Sterile and non-sterile compounding should not occur in the same room without some sort of separation or barrier. This is to prevent contamination and maintain the required standards for sterile compounding. Option B is incorrect because there should be a separation in place to prevent any contact between the two types of compounding. Option C is incorrect because even if one is not in operation, there should still be a clear separation between sterile and non-sterile compounding areas. Option D is incorrect because even non-hazardous drugs should be compounded in a separate area from sterile compounding. Therefore, the only correct option is A, which states that they can share the same room but must be separated by at least 1 meter to maintain sterility and prevent contamination.
