    The best method of patient identification is:

    • A.

      A birth certificate

    • B.

      A state-issued ID card or driver's license

    • C.

      A student ID

    • D.

      A Social Security card

    Correct Answer
    B. A state-issued ID card or driver's license
    Explanation
    The best method of patient identification is a state-issued ID card or driver's license. This is because these forms of identification are government-issued and provide reliable and accurate information about the patient's identity. Birth certificates may not always be readily available or up-to-date, and student IDs are not as widely recognized as official identification. Social Security cards, while they contain personal information, are not typically used as a primary form of identification in healthcare settings. Therefore, a state-issued ID card or driver's license is the most appropriate and reliable method for patient identification.
