which of the following applies to medications that require refrigeration?
the temperature of refrigerators that store medication should be monitored routinely.
medications requiring refrigeration only need to be monitored at the wholesaler.
most medications requiring refrigeration can be kept outside of the refrigerator for an extended period of time.
refrigerators should be kept at a temperature of 23°c.

Explanation:

Medications that require refrigeration are sensitive to temperature changes. Regularly monitoring the temperature of refrigerators storing medications ensures their efficacy and safety. Monitoring only at the wholesaler is insufficient as temperature - control is important throughout the supply chain and storage at the point of use. Medications needing refrigeration usually cannot be kept outside for long as it can cause degradation. Refrigerators for medications should be kept at a much lower temperature than 23°C (usually 2 - 8°C).

Answer:

The temperature of refrigerators that store medication should be monitored routinely.
