A CAPA report documents which of the following?

• A. Corrective actions
• B. Corrective and preventive actions
• C. None
• D. All

Answer: (B)

CAPA reports capture both the fixes for what went wrong and the measures put in place to prevent it from happening again. They document the root cause analysis, the corrective actions taken to address the current nonconformity, and the preventive actions designed to avoid recurrence. The report also covers who is responsible, timelines, and verification of effectiveness to confirm that the actions worked. If a deviation occurs, you wouldn’t just list a fix; you’d also implement process or control changes, training, or SOP updates to prevent a similar issue in the future. That combination—corrective and preventive actions—is what the CAPA document is built to show.
