Answer to Question 1

ANS: False
Joint commission guidelines for patient safety necessitate there always be a time-out to prevent wrong patient, wrong site, wrong procedure, and medical errors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: site; procedure; patient
To decrease the risk of surgery or invasive procedure being done on the wrong patient or in the wrong site, a time-out is called, and active communication to verify correct procedure, site, and patient is done just prior to the beginning of surgery or invasive procedure.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
