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.
