6 right in administering meds

[chazca]

I know I should know this, but I am missing one, can someone help me. I have: "right :patient,time,drug,route and dose" what is the 6th one please?

[loriangel14, RN]

when they say " right" they mean correct, as in 6 things you have to make sure are correct when administering meds.The right to refuse is a different kind of right and not some thing you need to check during administration, or at least that's the way I was taught.

We were taught that the 6th right is documentation. What helps me remember is making a sentence neumonic, such as "People Really Do Take Drugs Daily."

People = Person

Really = Route

Do = Drug

Take = Time

Drugs = Dose

Daily = Documentation

I was taught...the nine rights

right patient

right med

right route

right dose

right time

right reason

right documentation

right to refuse

right to educate

Obviously the "Rights" depend on where you went to school. I was taught:

Right Patient

Right Dose

Right Route

Right time

Right medication

Right documentation

this is what i was taught also
