What environment is required for preparing parenteral products for non-hospitalized patients?

  1. ISO 5 (Class 100)

  2. ISO 7 (Class 10,000)

  3. ISO 9 (Class 100,000)

  4. A non-sterile environment

The correct answer is: ISO 5 (Class 100)

Parenteral products are medications given through injection or infusion, bypassing the digestive system. These products require a highly controlled and sterile environment to prevent contamination and ensure patient safety. Class 100 refers to the number of particles per cubic foot of air, with ISO 5 being the most sterile and ISO 9 being the least sterile. ISO 5 (Class 100) is required for preparing parenteral products for non-hospitalized patients as it provides the highest level of air quality and minimizes the risk of contamination. ISO 7 (Class 10,000) and ISO 9 (Class 100,000) do not meet the necessary requirements for preparing parenteral products and are therefore incorrect. A non-sterile environment is also incorrect as it poses a high risk for contamination and is not suitable for preparing parenteral products.
