In accordance with USP, when a pharmacy technician is unpacking a shipment order that may contain cytotoxic agents, which of the following should be worn as a minimum precaution?

  1. Gloves

  2. Mask

  3. Shoe covers

  4. Goggles

The correct answer is: Gloves

When handling potentially hazardous medications, such as cytotoxic agents, it is important to protect oneself from potential exposure. Wearing gloves is the minimum precaution recommended by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) when unpacking a shipment order. Other options such as masks, shoe covers, and goggles may also be necessary depending on the specific medication and handling requirements. However, gloves are the minimum precaution that should always be worn.
