A doctor enters an exam room in a large hospital and greets the patient while
asking for his full name. The patient says he has stomach pain. The doctor
checks his chart to see if the patient is currently taking any medicines before
prescribing medicine for his stomach pain. Think about the NPSGS for
hospitals. What did the doctor do incorrectly?
OA. The doctor should have given the patient pain medication as soon
as she knew the patient was in pain.
OB. The doctor should have treated the patient's pain before asking for
his name.
OC. The doctor should have checked the patient's chart before
entering the room.
D. The doctor only used one source of identification to identify the
patient.
