____________________ is required to prevent surgery on the wrong site, wrong procedure, wrong person.

Correct Answer
Universal Protocol, Site marking, Patient Verification, Time out, 2 Indentifiers

Explanation
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.

- B.

- C.
  
  Write the expiration date of the solution on the new bottle.

- E.
  
  No action, everyone knows the protocol
Correct Answer
D. Remove the label of the old bottle and re-label with the new solution name, date, ot number, and expiration, if any.

Explanation
When transferring a cleaning solution from one container to another, it is important to remove the label of the old bottle and re-label with the new solution name, date, lot number, and expiration, if any. This safety precaution ensures that the new container is properly labeled and provides accurate information about the contents, which is crucial for safety and identification purposes. Writing a note to remember the solution or discarding the empty container in the trash are not directly related to safety precautions when transferring the cleaning solution.

As long as the patient knows who they are when you ask, you don't have to verify the 2 identifiers
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement suggests that if the patient knows their own identity when asked, there is no need to verify their identity using two identifiers. However, this is incorrect. In healthcare settings, it is essential to verify the patient's identity using at least two identifiers, such as their full name, date of birth, or unique identification number. This is done to ensure patient safety, prevent errors, and avoid misidentification. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Correct Answer
B. Proper hand washing before and after patient treatment

Explanation
Proper hand washing before and after patient treatment is the most effective method to prevent the spread of infection between patients and co-workers. This is because hands can easily pick up and transfer germs, and washing them thoroughly with soap and water helps to remove these germs. It is important to wash hands before and after patient treatment to ensure that any potential pathogens are eliminated, reducing the risk of spreading infection. Wearing masks and gloves can also be effective in preventing the spread of infection, but proper hand hygiene is essential in any healthcare setting.

Correct Answer
E. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

Explanation
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not have a role in TCI Hospital's internal patient safety program. OSHA is a government agency that focuses on ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for employees. While it may indirectly impact patient safety by regulating the safety of the hospital environment, it does not directly participate in the internal patient safety program. The other options listed, such as the Safety Committee, Patient, Providers and Associates, and Board of Directors, are all stakeholders who typically play a role in a hospital's internal patient safety program.
