When the nurse administers medications to a patient, she should check what identifiers?

A. Passport or advanced driver’s license: These are not standard patient identifiers in healthcare settings. B. Name and Date of Birth in add on the MRN can be used as the 3rd identifier: The Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals require at least two identifiers (Name and Date of Birth). The Medical Record Number (MRN) can serve as a third identifier for additional accuracy. C. Room number and roommates’ crosscheck: Room numbers are not reliable because patients may be moved to different rooms. D. Credit Card and insurance: Financial information does not verify the identity of the patient receiving care.
