  • Patient Care
  • Nursing
  • Medical Coding
  • Medical Billing
  • Electronic Health Records
  • HIPAA Compliance
  • Care Coordination
  • Health Informatics
  • Clinical Research

Sample question

When confirming a patient's identity before giving care, what is best practice?

  1. AUse the bed or room number
  2. BAsk a colleague who the patient is
  3. CRely on recognising the patient's face
  4. DCheck at least two identifiers, such as full name and date of birth
Show the answer

D. Check at least two identifiers, such as full name and date of birth

Using two independent identifiers greatly reduces the chance of giving care intended for someone else.

A sample only. Real questions are generated fresh for each sitting, so this exact question will not appear.
