Learning outcomes
What you will learn
- recognise the six medication administration rights used in this lesson
- match each right to the question it asks before administration
- identify common patient, medicine, dose, time, route and documentation mismatches
- recognise broader safeguards such as reason/indication, response/monitoring, barcode and independent checks
- recognise when a mathematically correct result still needs prescriber clarification or pharmacy/formulation advice before administration
Clinical connection
Why this matters
A correct calculation is not an administration instruction. Safe medication administration also depends on the active order, exact product/formulation, patient identification, timing, route, documentation, indication, monitoring and a practical authorised way to give the dose.
