What is correct about how CS technician should keep records?

  1. Corrugated cardboard

  2. Bottom of the ring to the distal tip

  3. Records should be audited routinely

  4. The sterility of the package is questionable

The correct answer is: Records should be audited routinely

Records should be audited routinely is the correct choice because it is crucial for CS technicians to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all sterilization activities and processes. Regular audits help ensure that all protocols are being followed correctly, equipment is functioning properly, and that quality assurance measures are in place. By routinely auditing records, any discrepancies or issues can be identified and addressed promptly to maintain the highest standards of sterility and patient safety in the healthcare facility. The other options are not relevant to the correct way CS technicians should keep records: - Corrugated cardboard and bottom of the ring to the distal tip are not related to record-keeping in central sterile processing. - The sterility of the package being questionable does not address how records should be maintained.
