Which step is included in the process of creating a CAPA?

1. Awarding participants

2. Defining how progress will be monitored

3. Requesting government funding

4. Launching a new drug

The correct answer is: Defining how progress will be monitored

Creating a CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) is a process used in industries like pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and food and beverage to identify and address any existing or potential quality or safety issues. The first step in creating a CAPA is typically identifying the issue or problem that needs to be addressed. Awarding participants or requesting government funding are not steps included in this process. While launching a new drug may require a CAPA to be put in place, it is not a step in the actual creation of the CAPA. Defining how progress will be monitored is an important step in creating a CAPA as it allows for the tracking and evaluation of the effectiveness of the corrective or preventive actions taken.
