Medication Administration

Safe Medication Practices

Administering medications correctly is a critical responsibility. This involves understanding dosages, routes, potential side effects, and the “Five Rights” of medication administration.

The Five Rights

  • Right Patient
  • Right Medication
  • Right Dose
  • Right Route
  • Right Time

Preventing Errors

Always double-check orders, communicate clearly, and ask questions about unclear prescriptions.

Examples

  • Giving insulin to the correct patient before meals.

  • Administering oral antibiotics at scheduled intervals.
