What kind of devices should be used for administering hazardous drugs?

Needleless and closed systems
Open system syringes
Any device as long as gloves are worn
Devices without protective techniques

The correct answer is: Needleless and closed systems

Hazardous drugs are potentially harmful chemicals that require proper handling to prevent exposure. Needleless and closed systems are recommended for administering hazardous drugs to minimize the risk of needlestick injuries and potential exposure. Open system syringes, on the other hand, pose a higher risk of exposure due to the use of needles. Option C, using any device while wearing gloves, may not provide enough protection against exposure. Finally, using devices without protective techniques (option D) can also increase the risk of exposure to hazardous drugs. Therefore, option A is the most suitable and safest choice for administering hazardous drugs.
