Patient Safety & LawQuestion 93 of 100
An assistant pours a disinfectant concentrate into a spray bottle that will be used later in the day by other staff. What must be done with the bottle?
a.Label it with the product identifier and the hazard information required for a secondary container
b.Leave it unlabeled because it will be used the same day
c.Write only the assistant's initials on the bottle
d.Mark it simply "cleaner" with a marker
Explanation
A secondary container that will be used by other employees or left beyond the immediate use of the person who filled it must carry the product identifier and the required hazard information. An unlabeled bottle leaves coworkers unable to identify the chemical in a spill or exposure. Initials identify a person, not a hazard, and a vague word like "cleaner" does not convey the product identity or its hazards.
