What action should be taken to preserve shelf life for packages that are not frequently needed?
  1. Label the packages with the date and time of sterilization and place them at the front of the cabinet.
  2. Place a plastic cover over the wrapper and seal it.
  3. Keep the packages in a covered box to protect them from light.
  4. There is no method of maintenance, packages have to be routinely checked and discarded.
Explanation
Answer: B-To preserve shelf life, place a plastic cover over the wrapper and seal it. This preserves the shelf life for an indefinite period and is useful for those items that are used on an infrequent basis. Provided the plastic cover does not become damaged or torn, the covering prevents the items inside from expiring.
