What must be done if there is an error on the patient's armband?

Proceed with caution
Correct it yourself
Do not draw blood, have it corrected
Ignore it

The correct answer is: Do not draw blood, have it corrected

An error on a patient's armband can cause numerous problems, such as misidentification and incorrect treatment. It is important to not ignore the error or try to fix it yourself as it could lead to serious consequences. Proceeding with caution may not be enough to ensure the safety of the patient. Additionally, trying to correct the error yourself could lead to further mistakes and complications. The correct course of action is to not draw blood and have the error corrected by a healthcare provider. This ensures that the patient's information is accurate and their safety is not compromised during any medical procedures.
