The folder NavMed 6150/10-19 applies to the military medical treatment jacket by including which data?

• A. Date of birth
• B. Full SSN
• C. Last 2 digits of the SSN
• D. Sponsor's name only

Answer: (C)

This item tests how identifying information is placed on the military medical treatment jacket to balance quick patient identification with privacy. The last two digits of the Social Security Number provide a compact, unique-enough identifier that helps distinguish patients who may share the same name, while avoiding exposure of the full SSN on the jacket. Printing the full SSN would raise privacy and security concerns, and a birth date alone isn’t reliably unique for identifying a person in a busy medical setting. A sponsor’s name by itself also isn’t sufficient to uniquely identify the patient. So the intended data element for NavMed 6150/10-19 is the last two digits of the SSN.
