What must be done with a health item that was returned due to potential error or harm?

  1. Must be destroyed or disposed of properly

  2. Must be returned to the manufacturer

  3. Can be reused if checked by a pharmacist

  4. Can be stored separately from other inventory

The correct answer is: Must be destroyed or disposed of properly

Health items that were returned due to potential error or harm should be destroyed or disposed of properly to prevent any risk of harm to patients. Returning the item to the manufacturer, reusing it without proper verification by a pharmacist, or storing it separately from other inventory can potentially lead to the item being mistakenly used again, which may have serious consequences. Therefore, the correct action to take with such items is to ensure they are safely and effectively destroyed or disposed of.
