How should basin sets be placed in a sterilizer cart?

  1. Stacked flat on top of each other

  2. Interleaved with tray sets

  3. Laid horizontally across the cart

  4. Placed on edge and tilted

The correct answer is: Placed on edge and tilted

Basin sets should be placed on edge and tilted in a sterilizer cart in order to promote better steam circulation and ensure proper sterilization. If the basin sets are stacked flat on top of each other, there may be blockages in the steam, preventing thorough sterilization. Similarly, if they are laid horizontally, there may be difficulty in effective steam circulation. Interleaving the basin sets with tray sets may also lead to inconsistent sterilization. Therefore, D is the most efficient and effective way to place basin sets in a sterilizer cart.
