What are the requirements for hazardous drugs storage?

In a brightly lit, positive pressure room
In an externally ventilated, negative pressure room with at least 12 ACPH
In a non-ventilated, locked cabinet
In a room with at least 5 ACPH

The correct answer is: In an externally ventilated, negative pressure room with at least 12 ACPH

Hazardous drugs should be stored in an externally ventilated, negative pressure room with at least 12 air changes per hour (ACPH). Option A is incorrect because hazardous drugs should not be stored in a brightly lit room, as light exposure can degrade the drugs. Option C is incorrect because hazardous drugs should never be stored in a non-ventilated area, as this can increase the risk of exposure to toxic fumes. Option D is incorrect because a room with only 5 ACPH would not provide enough ventilation to minimize the risk of exposure to hazardous drugs.
