Which of these is not listed as a reason to unseal a bag?

• A. Re-bill
• B. Mixes
• C. Patient wants a certain medication
• D. Expiration

Answer: (D)

Understanding when you unseal a patient bag is about actions that require accessing the contents to fix an issue or fulfill a request. Unsealing to address expiration doesn’t fit that pattern—expiration means the contents may be past their usable date and should be disposed of or quarantined, not opened for use. So expiration isn’t a reason to unseal. In contrast, unsealing would be appropriate if you need to re-bill (to correct billing or charges), to fix a mix (correct a packaging or item mix), or to give the patient a specific medication they requested.
