Question 1

A nurse is preparing to administer medications to a client. Which of the following actions should the
nurse take to verify the client's identity?



A) Ask the client to state their date of birth and compare it to the medication administration record

B) Check the client's identification bracelet and ask the client to state their full name

C) Ask the client's family member to confirm the client's identity

D) Verify the client's room number and bed assignment



Correct ANSWER: B



Rationale:



Option A: Incorrect. While asking for date of birth is part of identification, using two identifiers is
required. This option only provides one identifier.



Option B: Correct. The Joint Commission requires two patient identifiers before medication
administration. Checking the ID bracelet and asking the client to state their full name provides two
distinct identifiers.



Option C: Incorrect. Family members are not reliable sources for patient identification in healthcare
settings. The client's identification bracelet and self-report are the standard methods.



Option D: Incorrect. Room numbers and bed assignments can change and are not considered reliable
patient identifiers. This does not meet the two-identifier requirement.
