The label on the medication must be checked for name, dose, and route, and compared with the MAR at three different times: When the medication is taken out of the drawer.

Nurse Leader Insider, August 7, 2019 But, it’s not only critical to ensure this information is correct, you should check three times: The first check is when the medications are pulled or retrieved from the automated dispensing machine, the medication drawer, or whatever system is in place at a given institution.

These 6 rights include the right patient, medication, dose, time, route and documentation. Futhermore, nurses are also urged to do the three checks; checking the MAR, checking while drawing up medication and checking again at bedside. It is important to check for allergies as well before administration.

One of the recommendations to reduce medication errors and harm is to use the “five rights”: the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route, and the right time.

A sixth right often mentioned, but not part of the original five, is the right documentation. Don’t forget to administer the drug to the client first, and then document. Documenting beforehand is considered falsification of documentation and is a violation of the nurse practice act.

Six Rights of Medication Administration

• Identify the right patient.
• Verify the right medication.
• Verify the indication for use.
• Calculate the right dose.
• Make sure it’s the right time.
• Check the right route.

• Omission.
• Wrong time.
• Unauthorized drug.
• Improper dose.
• Wrong dose prescription/wrong dose preparation.
• Administration errors including the incorrect route of administration, giving the drug to the wrong patient, extra dose or wrong rate.

The most common causes of medication errors are:

• Poor communication between your doctors.
• Poor communication between you and your doctors.
• Drug names that sound alike and medications that look alike.
• Medical abbreviations.
