Patient Safety & Quality AssuranceCâu 64 / 100
A pharmacy stocks both clonazePAM and cloNIDine. Which storage practice best reduces the risk of pulling the wrong product?
a.Shelve them side by side in alphabetical order so both can be seen at once
b.Store both bottles in the refrigerator
c.Separate them physically on different shelves and place a shelf alert at each location
d.Keep only one of the two products in stock at any given time
Giải thích
Physical separation plus a shelf alert breaks the automatic reach-and-grab that causes look-alike errors, because the technician must move to a different location and read a warning before selecting. Strict alphabetical shelving is what places these two names next to each other in the first place, neither product requires refrigeration, and refusing to stock one of them would leave patients without a legitimately prescribed drug.
