What is the BUD for single-dose containers opened inside an ISO 5 environment?

  1. Up to 6 hours

  2. 1 hour

  3. Up to 28 days

  4. Cannot be stored, must be discarded

The correct answer is: Up to 6 hours

Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the correct BUD for single-dose containers in an ISO 5 environment. Option B allows for only 1 hour of storage, which may not be enough time for the medication to be used by patients in a healthcare setting. Option C allows for up to 28 days of storage, which is too long for a single-dose container that has been opened inside an ISO 5 environment. Option D suggests that the container must be discarded and cannot be stored, which is not true for single-dose containers in an ISO 5 environment. Overall, the correct answer A allows for the appropriate balance between patient safety and practicality in a healthcare setting.
