When you create a patient with Manual Patient Duplication, the system will only accept names with:

• A. A capital letter at the end of the first and last names
• B. A capital letter at the beginning of the first and last names
• C. All lowercase letters
• D. A capital letter in the middle of the names

Answer: (B)

Capitalization of names in patient records is the key idea: each name must start with a capital letter for both the first and last name. This standard helps keep data consistent, makes searching and matching more reliable, and reduces confusion when linking records. So entering a name like John Doe meets the rule because the first letters of both names are capitalized. Names that don’t begin with a capital, or that place capitalization in the middle of the name, don’t fit the required format.
