Where is the MRT label placed on the AF Form 2100 or 2100A?

• A. Back cover, in the status box in the center of the record jacket
• B. Front cover, in the patient identification block
• C. Back cover, in the lower right hand corner
• D. Front cover, in the lower left hand corner

Answer: (B)

The MRT label is placed on the front cover, in the patient identification block. This position keeps the label with the most critical identifiers (name, ID) so staff can see it quickly when the record is handled. The front cover is the primary place for visibility and quick access, especially during intake, transfers, or readiness checks. Back cover areas are typically used for other information like status boxes or storage cues, and the lower corners on the front cover aren’t the standard spot for this label. So, putting the MRT label in the patient identification block on the front cover ensures it’s immediately noticeable and easy to associate with the correct patient.
