What is the beyond-use date for high risk CSP?

  1. 24 hours, 3 days, 45 days

  2. 30 hours, 9 days, 45 days

  3. 12 hours (12 hours, N/A)

  4. 1 hour

The correct answer is: 24 hours, 3 days, 45 days

High risk CSPs (Compounded Sterile Preparations) are those that are at a higher risk of contamination and therefore have a shorter beyond-use date. The correct answer is A, which includes options for 24 hours, 3 days, and 45 days. High-risk CSPs typically have a beyond-use date ranging from 24 hours to 3 days, depending on the specific formulation and storage conditions. These CSPs must be prepared and stored with utmost care to minimize the risk of microbial contamination and maintain patient safety. The other options are not correct because they provide beyond-use dates that are either too long (e.g., 9 days, 45 days) or too short (e.g., 1 hour) for high-risk CSPs. It is crucial to follow guidelines and best practices to ensure the safety and efficacy of compounded sterile preparations.
