Which set lists the five rights of medication administration?

• A. Right patient, Right drug, Right dose, Right route, Right time
• B. Right patient, Right drug, Right dose, Right route
• C. Right patient, Right dose, Right route, Right time, Right documentation
• D. Right patient, Right dose, Right route, Right time, Right result

Answer: (A)

The question tests the standard five rights of medication administration. These five are Right patient, Right drug, Right dose, Right route, and Right time. This set matches exactly what you should verify before giving any med, helping prevent common errors by confirming who’s receiving the med, what is being given, the amount, how it’s given, and when it should be given. The other options miss or replace one of these core parts. One option has only four of the five, missing the timing. Another swaps in documentation instead of one of the rights, or uses a non-right like a result, which isn’t part of the five essential checks.
