What should you do when unsure of a procedural step?

  1. Guess the next step

  2. Use guidelines in procedural manual

  3. Skip the step

  4. Ask a friend

The correct answer is: Use guidelines in procedural manual

When unsure of a procedural step, guessing the next step can lead to mistakes and wasted time. Skipping the step can also lead to errors and potentially compromise the outcome. Asking a friend may not always be the best choice as they may not have the expertise or knowledge on the procedure. Using the guidelines in the procedural manual is the best option as it is a reliable source and can provide step-by-step instructions to ensure the correct procedure is followed.
