What is the purpose of having a case cart with operating supplies sent from central processing for a surgical procedure?
  1. It allows the central processing unit to determine what supplies are necessary for each individual procedure.
  2. It saves time for the nursing staff to pick and choose what supplies are needed.
  3. It reduces the amount of supplies and materials in the operating room, allowing more room for the procedure.
  4. It gives personnel in central processing extra work to perform.
Explanation
Answer: C-The purpose of having a case cart sent from central processing for a surgical procedure is that it reduces the amount of supplies and materials in the operating room, allowing more room for the procedure. Some supplies can remain stored in the operating room, while central processing can distribute case carts, which should carry most of what the surgical team needs for a procedure. The cart can be sent back for sterilizing of materials when the procedure is done, and this clears the room for the next surgery.
