During a routine review of the testing records and performance logs for the clinical laboratory, you notice that the temperature logs for the refrigerated storage, where certain reagents are kept, have not been recorded for the past week. As a medical assistant, what is the most appropriate immediate action to take?
Calculate an average temperature from the past logged data and enter it for the missing days.
Continue to monitor the temperatures and record them as usual without reporting the past lapse.
Report the lapse in record-keeping to the supervisor immediately.
Repeat the last recorded temperature for the missing days.
