Answer 1

The correct order for fingerprint processing is to ink the finger, place the card strip in the holder, press the finger on the strip holder, cut and paste the finger block, and repeat for each finger.

Step-by-step explanation:

To correctly process and record fingerprints, the steps provided should be placed into the following logical order:

1. Using the spatula, ink the finger (starting with the right hand) and be sure to apply ink from nail to nail.
2. Place a fingerprint card strip in the fingerprint card strip holder (spoon).
3. Place the inked finger on the fingerprint card strip holder (curved area) and press down. Do not roll the finger. The curved shape of the holder will serve the same purpose as rolling the finger.
