Question 7 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

Which is the best way to ensure that the patient is correctly identified?

Answer
A
Check the patient’s identification bracelet.
B
Say the patient’s name three times.
C
Ask the nurse you just passed in the hall who this patient is.
D
Look for her name on the greeting cards tacked to the bulletin board next to her chair.

Explanation

Check the patient’s identification bracelet to verify who the patient is using an approved identifier. Saying a name repeatedly does not confirm identity, and asking someone in the hallway or checking greeting cards could lead to a mistaken identification.
