A refrigerator used for EPI vaccines is working normally, but the nurse finds vaccines stored in the door compartment. What should the nurse do?
Correct answer: B. Move them to the recommended shelves and check their condition
- A. Leave them there because the door is easy to access
- B. Move them to the recommended shelves and check their condition
- C. Place them beside the freezer to cool them quickly
- D. Discard every vaccine immediately without assessment
Explanation
The nurse should move vaccines to the correct shelves and assess temperature records, expiry dates and VVM status. Door storage is unsafe because temperatures change whenever the refrigerator is opened.
