Which item is NOT a closing activity?

• A. Check each room
• B. Shutting down all equipment
• C. Secure all doors and windows
• D. Review and retrieve patient charts for the day

Answer: (D)

Closing activities focus on securing the facility and turning off equipment. Checking each room helps ensure nothing is left behind and the space is safe to leave. Shutting down all equipment prevents damage and conserves power. Securing all doors and windows protects people and property from unauthorized access. Reviewing and retrieving patient charts for the day is an administrative records task, tied to documentation and confidentiality, rather than part of the physical closing routine.
