A rigid container with broken tamper-evident seal indicates

  1. Facility management

  2. Clostridium difficile

  3. The sterility of the package is questionable

  4. Skin hooks

The correct answer is: The sterility of the package is questionable

A rigid container with a broken tamper-evident seal indicates that the sterility of the package is questionable. Tamper-evident seals are put in place to ensure that the contents of a package remain sterile and uncontaminated. If the seal is broken, there is a risk that the contents have been compromised and may no longer be sterile. This is a critical concern in sterile processing as it could lead to the introduction of pathogens or contaminants into the sterile field. Therefore, it is essential to treat any package with a broken tamper-evident seal as potentially contaminated until further information is known. Facility management, Clostridium difficile, and skin hooks are not directly related to the presence of a broken tamper-evident seal on a rigid container.
