Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of validating family members that are present and plans for care at home following discharge is not an essential part of the admission process to ensure patient safety during the procedure. While it is important to know who will be helping the patient and their plans for dismissal, not having this information does not necessarily pose a threat to patient safety. The patient should be identified as per their statement and should have an armband that matches the medical record and surgical schedule. Documenting allergic reactions, as well as medications and blood transfusions are also essential to patient safety to avoid errors.
