Do you store boxes of alcohol swabs in a flammable cabinet?
We store bulk bottles in the flammable cabinet, but I never thought about the swabs until the question was posed to me recently.
If you do, was a recommendation from CMS/DNV/TJC or a state board inspector or based on other data. If you intentionally do not, I'd be interested to know about the documentation or discussions that led to that.
Just trying to do what is safest in our pharmacy.
Thanks!
