The 6th is (or was taught to my class) Right Documentation

I can see why - although not actually taught as a 'right' to us, it was still very much emphasized. In clinical, we had to have the computer in the room, opened up on the patient's MAR and log in everything as we did it.

For us it was TPR MD (Time-Patient-Route-Medication-Dose)

I like this because TPR (vital signs) and MD are medical in nature.

I thought about the additional 5 and came up with DR. ERA (Documentation-Reason-Education-Refusal-Assessment).

[Key Lime Pie]

We used DR. TIM.

Dose

Route

Time

Individual
