What must a member ensure about extemporaneous compounding?

  1. It is only performed by senior staff

  2. It is done quickly

  3. It ensures the preparation is safe and of appropriate consistency and quality

  4. It is done without documentation

The correct answer is: It ensures the preparation is safe and of appropriate consistency and quality

A member must ensure that extemporaneous compounding is done safely and with appropriate consistency and quality. This involves carefully measuring and mixing ingredients to create a specific medication according to a prescription. Options A and D are incorrect because it is important for all staff members to follow proper protocols and document the compounding process. Option B is incorrect because rushing the process can lead to mistakes and potential harm to the patient. Option C is the best choice because it highlights the key elements of extemporaneous compounding that must be ensured.
