The Six Rights of Medication Administration
Our patients trust that nurses are safely and competently administering medications as their Doctor has ordered. In order to ensure that medication errors are avoided Nurses must adhere to following the six rights of Medication Administration with each medicine that is delivered to patients. To review the six rights watch the video below. You will be expected to follow each of these rights at all times during the Medication Administration Clinical Simulation experience!
