How many identifiers are required from patients before a procedure?

Two
One
Three
Four

The correct answer is: Two

Identifiers are data points used to confirm patient identity. The two identifiers required before a procedure are necessary to ensure accurate and safe treatment. One identifier may not be sufficient in case of similar names or mistaken identity. Having three or four identifiers may be excessive and can slow down the process of receiving timely treatment. Hence, the correct answer is A, two identifiers.
