____________________ is required to prevent surgery on the wrong site, wrong procedure, wrong person.
Correct Answer
Universal Protocol, Site marking, Patient Verification, Time out, 2 IndentifiersExplanation
To prevent surgery on the wrong site, wrong procedure, or wrong person, a combination of measures is required. The Universal Protocol provides a standardized approach to surgical safety and includes steps such as site marking, patient verification, time out, and the use of two identifiers. Site marking ensures that the correct surgical site is identified and verified before the procedure. Patient verification involves confirming the patient's identity and the planned procedure. Time out is a pause before the surgery begins to reconfirm all relevant details. The use of two identifiers, such as the patient's name and date of birth, further reduces the risk of errors.Rate this question:
