In the context of compounding sterile preparations, what does SCA stand for?

Secure Compounding Area
Sterile Compounding Area
Segregated Compounding Area
Standard Compounding Area

The correct answer is: Segregated Compounding Area

In the context of compounding sterile preparations, SCA stands for Segregated Compounding Area. This option is the most accurate as it refers to a specific area designated for the preparation of sterile medications that is physically separated from other areas to prevent contamination. The other options, including Secure Compounding Area, Sterile Compounding Area, and Standard Compounding Area, may be used interchangeably but do not specifically refer to the segregation of the compounding area.
