What must the corrective action report document?

• A. The corrective action taken by the laboratory to correct each deficiency
• B. The names of staff involved
• C. The budget impact
• D. The training records of the staff

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that a corrective action report must capture the actions taken to address each deficiency. It provides a clear, verifiable record of what corrective steps were implemented and how their effectiveness was checked, ensuring the problem is truly resolved and can be evaluated in future audits. While other items like who was involved, budget implications, or training records may be relevant elsewhere, they are not the core content that the corrective action report is required to document.
