CRCST Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

How many times should instrument marking tape be wrapped around the instrument?

1 to 1 1/2

Instrument marking tape should be wrapped around the instrument 1 to 1 1/2 times. This ensures that the tape adheres securely to the instrument and remains in place throughout the sterilization process. Wrapping the tape more than necessary can lead to wasted tape and potential issues with the instruments fitting properly in the sterilization containers. Wrapping the tape fewer times may not provide enough secure coverage to properly identify the instrument. Therefore, wrapping the tape 1 to 1 1/2 times strikes the right balance between securing the tape effectively and preventing wastage.
