Which of the choices explain best practices for the use of equipment?

Keeping equipment clean and ready to use is essential to prevent contamination and ensure reliable results. Cleaning before the first use removes any residue or microbes that may have come with storage, failed batches, or packaging. Cleaning after every use removes biological matter, chemical residues, and particulates that could transfer to the next sample or user. Together, these steps stop cross-contamination, protect patient safety, and help equipment perform accurately and consistently. Storing equipment to increase contamination would create the very risk these practices aim to prevent. Inspecting equipment only at the first use misses issues that develop with each use, such as wear, damage, or new contamination. Avoiding training and calibration leaves users unaware of proper handling and measurement accuracy, leading to unsafe or unreliable results.
