AAMA CMA Practice Question
While performing a routine check of the medication storage refrigerator, you discover the temperature log indicates a consistent reading of 50°F for the past week. According to best practices, what is the most appropriate action to take next?
Report the temperature log readings and the potential impact on medication integrity to your supervisor.
Recalibrate the refrigerator’s thermostat yourself to achieve the recommended temperature range.
Continue to monitor the temperature for changes before taking any action.
Dispose of any medications that have been in the refrigerator for over a week since they may have been compromised.
