what are the five rights of administering medication?

There are actually 8 now..grrrrrrrrrrrr!

Right:

med

dose

form

Pt

mar

time

route

side effects

Add- order and

situation.

As in, is the order written correctly? Does the ordered dose fall within the dosing limits? Is the order appropriate for the situation?

Good grief, that would make 10 rights!:chair:
