Wyoming MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

How often must staff pass media fill testing for compounding?

1. Annually, regardless of compounding risk level

2. Every 6 months for all risk levels

3. Initially before compounding and yearly for low and medium risk levels; every 6 months for high-risk

4. Monthly for all risk levels

The correct answer is: Initially before compounding and yearly for low and medium risk levels; every 6 months for high-risk

Staff must pass media fill testing initially before compounding, and then yearly for low and medium-risk compounding levels and every 6 months for high-risk compounding. This frequency ensures that staff competency in aseptic technique is regularly monitored and maintained, especially for high-risk compounding where the margin for error is lower. Therefore, option C is correct. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the appropriate frequencies for media fill testing based on the compounding risk levels as outlined in the regulations.
