Where should the 'PRP' or 'PSP' label be placed on PRP/PSP records?

• A. On the upper left front in 2" red capital block letters.
• B. On the rear cover.
• C. On the spine.
• D. On the bottom edge.

Answer: (A)

Efficient, at-a-glance identification of critical medical records is the focus. Placing the label on the upper left front cover with 2-inch red capital block letters gives the clearest, quickest visibility in the busy environments where PRP/PSP records are used. This spot is readily seen when the record is held, opened, or placed on a workstation, and the bold red lettering stands out against typical notebook colors, reducing the chance of misidentification during urgent or routine tasks.

Labels on the rear cover or spine are harder to notice in everyday handling—records may be stored or viewed from angles where those areas aren’t visible. The bottom edge is easy to overlook as the book is carried or stacked. So, the chosen placement maximizes readability and speeds access when time matters.
