Which term describes the yearly assessment of equipment and budget needs?

• A. Inventory Management
• B. Therapeutic Modalities
• C. Chain of Infection
• D. Reservoir

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is inventory management. This area covers keeping an up-to-date record of all gear and supplies, monitoring how much you have and how quickly you use it, and planning replacements and purchases. A yearly assessment of equipment needs and the corresponding budget is a classic inventory management activity because it ties together what you own, what you’ll need in the coming year, and how you’ll allocate funds to keep everything safe, functional, and compliant with standards.

The other terms don’t fit this focus. Therapeutic modalities are treatment tools or methods, while chain of infection and reservoir relate to how infections spread and the parts of that process.
