Prep, Packaging & StoragePregunta 89 de 100
A technician is restocking sterile storage with trays that were processed this morning. What inventory practice should be used?
a.Last in, first out, so the newest and cleanest packages are used first
b.Random selection, since event-related sterility makes rotation unnecessary
c.First in, first out, placing newly processed packages behind existing stock so older packages are used first
d.Rotate only implants and specialty trays; routine sets do not need rotation
Explicación
First in, first out limits how long any package sits on the shelf, which reduces handling wear and the chance of an unnoticed barrier breach, and it keeps stock moving even under an event-related sterility policy. Event-related sterility means packages do not expire by date alone, but it does not eliminate the value of rotation and routine package inspection. Rotation applies to all sterile inventory, not only high-value items.
