Pharmacy PEBC Practice Exam

Compounded sterile preparations (CSPs) in a hospital pharmacy are medications that are specially made in a sterile environment to meet the unique needs of a patient. Option B is incorrect because multi-dose batches of immediate-use CSPs should not be prepared for a patient, as they are meant for urgent and immediate use. Option C is also incorrect because trained personnel may be responsible for the labeling of finished CSPs, but the pharmacist must always verify the accuracy of the labeling. Option D is incorrect because beyond-use dates should be based on scientific literature, stability data, and other factors, rather than test sampling of individual batches. Therefore, option A is the correct statement as immediate-use CSPs are intended for urgent situations and may have less stringent preparation criteria compared to other CSPs.
