The nurse is taking care of a non-verbal client. The nurse has been educated on the National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG). What action would be best to verify identification of the client?

Ask the client who they are and have them state their birthday.

Check the client’s name band and compare the MRN (medical record number) and picture in the patient’s chart.

Check their room number and look for their picture in the chart.

Ask the nurse who has been working at the facility for five years to identify the patient.
