Question

Immediately before a bedside lumbar puncture, the nurse leads the team through the Universal Protocol "time-out." Which best describes the required components of the time-out?

Accepted Answer

Option 3: Pause the immediate team before the procedure to actively confirm the patient, site, and procedure.

The final time-out occurs immediately before the invasive procedure. The immediate procedure-team members stop other activity and actively communicate until they agree on, at minimum, the correct patient identity, correct site, and procedure. Any concern must be resolved before starting. A morning huddle, a provider announcement without team engagement, or a nurse's solo chart check does not replace the team time-out.

Answer

Option 1: Complete one time-out during the morning huddle to cover every procedure scheduled that day.

Answer

Option 2: Have the provider announce the patient and procedure while the remaining team continues setup.

Answer

Option 4: Have the nurse verify the chart and equipment alone before bringing supplies to the bedside.
