Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Three points are confirmed by the surgical team throughout the process: sign-in (before administration of surgical drugs), time-out (identifying correct patient and surgical procedure), and sign-out summary of what was completed in surgery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
An X is inappropriate because it may be misunderstood. Every facility has its policy for identifications.
