Which term describes a security measure used to prevent tampering with medication storage?

• A. Tamperproof Tag
• B. Medication Storage
• C. Perpetual Log
• D. Narcotic Prescription

Answer: (A)

Tamperproof tag is a tamper-evident seal used on medication containers or storage units. It provides a visible indication that the container has been opened or altered, creating a physical barrier that helps maintain medication integrity. If the tag remains intact, you can trust the contents; if it’s broken, you know tampering may have occurred and immediate action—such as inspecting, replacing, or discarding the item—may be needed. This direct prevention and detection of tampering is the core idea behind securing medication storage. In contrast, simply having a storage location, keeping an ongoing log, or dealing with a narcotic prescription doesn’t provide a built-in, visible tamper-evidence mechanism.
