What should be checked periodically to ensure readiness of emergency medical equipment in a dental office?

  1. Whether the equipment is stored inside a securely locked cabinet only
  2. That oxygen cylinders are full, AEDs work, and kit items are within expiry
  3. That the equipment is kept sitting visibly on the dental chair for every patient
  4. No checks are needed at all once the equipment has been purchased
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: That oxygen cylinders are full, AEDs work, and kit items are within expiry

Emergency equipment must be maintained — oxygen cylinders refilled, AEDs operational, drugs and disposables not expired — to ensure they function properly when needed.
