SOLVED1156

Medication administration safety is extremely important to ensure the patient is provided with safe and effective care. There are many interventions that nurses as well as hospital staff can utilize to ensure they are staying within the 10 rights of medication administration. These 10 rights include: right to refusal, right documentation, right patient, right dosage, right drug, right time, right route, right education, right evaluation/response, and right assessment. Verifying the right patient is one of the most important steps in medication administration. This is put in place to ensure the right patient is getting the right medication. The way to do this is to ask the patient to verify their name and date of birth, then verify that the name and date of birth match what is on the medication that is being given, if it does not match the patient or birthdate, you do not give the medication. Making sure that the route is correct is also very important. The best way to confirm which route is to look at the order the doctor put in and then verify that is what the pharmacy sent you.
