Right Drug Proper identification of the ordered drug is
required. Check medication against the
physicians order form. As a Registered Nurse,
you have the responsibility before administering
any medication, to ensure that the dose and drug
is appropriate for the patient. You also have the
responsibility to clarify orders, which are unclear
or seem inappropriate for the clinical condition
of the patient.

the drug, doing the appropriate calculations or
conversions, and knowing the usual dosage.

before medication is administered. HFHS
acceptable method for confirming identification
consists of checking the patients first and last
name and medical record number (MRN) on the
identification band with the name and MRN on
the Medication Administration Record (MAR).

physicians order. The RN is responsible for
preparing and administering medications
correctly by consulting the accompanying
instructions from the pharmacy or drug company.
Right Time The RN is responsible for administering
medications according to scheduled times if that
is how the order is written. Instructing patients on
the timing of self-administered drugs at home is
also an important function for nurses. Instruct
using exact times such as "take at 8:00 in the
morning with food and 5:00 in the evening with
food" rather than "take at meal times" since meal
times can vary with different cultural groups.
