What type of equipment must a pharmacy have for measuring volumes?

A pharmacy is required to have devices that can measure a range of volumes from 1 mL to 500 mL to ensure accurate compounding and dispensing of medications. This range allows pharmacists to prepare various formulations that might require specific measurements, such as liquid medications for both children and adults, compounding of sterile products, and other pharmaceutical preparations.

Having access to measuring devices that cover this volume range is critical for maintaining medication safety and efficacy. It ensures that pharmacists can appropriately measure both small and larger quantities as needed, fostering a practice environment that supports precise medication preparation while adhering to guidelines and regulations.

The other choices limit the pharmacy's ability to perform its functions effectively. For example, only electronic measuring devices would not allow for necessary manual measurements or adjustments, while measuring devices limited to only 100 mL wouldn't meet the requirements for preparing larger volume medications. Thus, the requirement for devices capable of measuring 1 mL to 500 mL encompasses both small and larger volume needs, aligning with pharmaceutical standards.
