Question

If a patient's date of birth is March 8, 1951, it should be entered in FL10 as:

a. 03/08/1951
b. 08/03/1951
c. 19510308
d. 19510803

Answer 1

The correct format to enter the patient's date of birth in FL10 is 03/08/1951.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct format to enter the patient's date of birth in FL10 would be 03/08/1951 (option a).

This follows the standard month/day/year format commonly used in the United States.

Entering the date as 08/03/1951 (option b) would be incorrect as it uses the day/month/year format typically used in other parts of the world. Options c and d are not in the standard date format and should not be used.
