Medication administration is route is often classified by the location at which the drug is administered, such as oral or intravenous. nurses have a unique role and responsibility in medication administration, in that they are frequently the final person to check to see that the medication is correctly prescribed and dispensed before administration. It is standard during nursing education to receive instruction on a guide to clinical medication administration and upholding patient safety known as the ‘five rights’ or ‘five R’s’ of medication administration. the medication is correctly prescribed and dispensed before administration.[1] It is standard during nursing education to receive instruction on a guide to clinical medication administration and upholding patient safety known as the ‘five rights’ or ‘five R’s’ of medication administration.These ‘rights’ came into being during an era in medicine in which the precedent was that an error committed by a provider was that provider’s sole responsibility and patients did not have as much involvement in their own care. The traditional framework used in teaching the rights has remained largely unchanged, but there has been no significant reduction in error rates reported in the literature since their introduction.[3] Sole reliance on the ‘five rights,’ the necessity of adding additional rights, and the lack of consideration for the role of the patient are a few of the points of contention named in the medical literature concerning the traditional ‘five rights.’
