What is required for the storage of hazardous drugs?

  1. Refrigerated drugs in any fridge

  2. Separate fridge with negative pressure for refrigerated antineoplastic HDs

  3. Storage on the floor for easier access

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Separate fridge with negative pressure for refrigerated antineoplastic HDs

Refrigerated drugs in any fridge is not a comprehensive storage solution for hazardous drugs because not all hazardous drugs require refrigeration. Additionally, storing hazardous drugs in a regular fridge can contaminate other food and medications. Storage on the floor for easier access is not a safe or recommended practice for hazardous drugs. It increases the risk of contamination and accidental exposure to the drugs. None of the above is not the correct answer as there are specific guidelines and regulations for the storage of hazardous drugs, which includes having a separate fridge with negative pressure for refrigerated antineoplastic hazardous drugs. This is to ensure the safety of healthcare workers handling these drugs and to prevent further contamination or exposure.
