What information can be recorded to assess HD exposure?

To assess exposure to hazardous drugs (HDs), it is essential to maintain robust records of the drugs handled, which should include quantitative details. This information not only helps track the quantity and types of HDs processed but also aids in monitoring the potential exposure levels for personnel involved in the handling of these medications. Such records can reveal patterns of use, potential for contamination, and can be crucial for implementing safety measures to protect healthcare workers.

Quantitative details can encompass data like the volume of HDs handled, frequency of handling, and specific handling procedures employed. This information is vital for regulatory compliance and for continuous assessment of health risks related to hazardous drug exposure.

Other options, while they may have relevance in broader contexts (such as patient safety or healthcare economics), do not specifically provide the necessary data for evaluating exposure to hazardous drugs in the same direct and quantitative manner as option B.
