Question 1 of 5
When the nurse administers medications to a patient, she should check what identifiers?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. When administering medications, nurses should check the patient's name and date of birth along with a third identifier such as medical record number (MRN) to ensure the right patient receives the right medication. This process helps prevent medication errors and ensures patient safety.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not provide reliable patient identification and can lead to errors. A passport or driver's license may not be readily available for all patients, room number and roommate crosscheck is not a standard practice, and credit cards or insurance cards do not provide accurate patient identification.
