Which standard was published in February 2016 to provide guidance on ways to protect staff from hazardous drug exposure?

DHHR 2000
DSCSA 2013
USP 800
WVDHHR 100

The correct answer is: DHHR 2000

The correct answer is USP 800. This standard was published by the United States Pharmacopeia in February 2016 to provide procedures and guidelines for the safe handling of hazardous drugs to protect healthcare workers, patients, and the environment. USP 800 specifically addresses issues like compounding, storage, and disposal of hazardous drugs to minimize the risk of exposure. While options such as DHHR 2000, DSCSA 2013, and WVDHHR 100 pertain to other aspects of pharmacy practice and regulation, they do not specifically focus on the guidelines for handling hazardous drugs. For instance, the DSCSA (Drug Supply Chain Security Act) deals with the supply chain and tracking of prescription drugs, not directly addressing employee safety regarding hazardous substances.
