What is the primary purpose of a compounding record or log?

To document what you should do
To predict future outcomes
To record what was actually done
To serve as marketing material

The correct answer is: To record what was actually done

A compounding record or log serves as a documentation of the actual processes and methods used in creating compounded medications. It records the exact ingredients and quantities used, as well as the steps taken in the compounding process. This information is important for quality control and to ensure consistency in future batches of the medication. Option A is incorrect because a compounding record is not used to document what one should do, but rather what was actually done. Option B is incorrect because a compounding record is not used to predict future outcomes, but rather serves as a record of what was done in the past. Option D is incorrect because a compounding record is not used as marketing material, but rather as a tool for quality control and consistency. Only option C accurately describes the primary purpose of a compounding record.
