ARoom number and bed number
BPatient name and date of birth (or medical record number)

DPhysician's name and patient's insurance

✓ Correct answer: B. Patient name and date of birth (or medical record number) The Joint Commission and WHO require at least two patient-specific identifiers; name and date of birth (or MRN) are most reliable; room and bed numbers are NOT acceptable identifiers.
