Reply To: Q&A COP webinar – Cytotoxic medication and associated waste management.

[Logan Heather]

Hi Carrie,

A bit of a tricky one – if a client is receiving cytotoxic meds via a webster pack, would the staff member require PPE (e.g., purple nitrile gloves) when popping the meds out of the pack and into a cup, and then passing the cup to the client? Also – would the PPE worn and cup become ‘cytotoxic waste’ and be required to be disposed of in this manner?

Thanks,
Logan
