What additional information is often found on a patient's ID bracelet?

1. Dietary restrictions

2. Allergy information

3. Room number

4. Their doctor's name

The correct answer is: Dietary restrictions

Patients typically wear ID bracelets during hospital stays, and the bracelet often includes crucial medical information that can quickly be accessed by healthcare providers. This information commonly includes the patient's name, age, and unique patient identification number. While, dietary restrictions may not be as immediately life-threatening as allergens, they are still an important piece of information that should be readily available to hospital staff. Allergy information is also commonly found on ID bracelets and can be critical in emergency situations. While the patient's room number and doctor's name may also be found on the bracelet, this information is not as important for immediate medical care.
