单选题 The nurse is about to administer a medication to a client with whom the nurse is unfamiliar. To verify the client's identity, the nurse should
A. ask the client his name.
B. check the name posted outside the client's room.
C. ask a family member the identity of the client.
D. check the client's identification bracelet.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】To verify the client's identity, check the identification bracelet. If confused, the client may give an inaccurate answer. The name posted outside the door may be inaccurate or another client may have wandered into the wrong room. A family member with whom the nurse is unfamiliar isn't a reliable source.
