Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Accurate identification in long-term care is critical to prevent errors in care delivery, especially with residents who may have cognitive impairments or similar names. Checking the resident's name and room number on the assignment sheet provides a reliable, documented method tied to the facility's records, ensuring consistency and reducing mistakes. Calling the person by name assumes they respond correctly, which may not work with confusion or hearing issues. Having them state their name relies on their ability to communicate accurately, which isn't always possible. Checking a laundry label is informal and prone to errors (e.g., mixed-up clothing). The assignment sheet, often paired with an ID bracelet check, is the gold standard in healthcare settings for its precision and alignment with safety protocols, making it the best method.
