Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The five rights of medication administration are the right patient, right medication, right dose, right route, and right time. The nurse administered the correct medication (Tylenol) and the correct dose (650 mg) via the correct route (oral), so there was no violation of the five rights. The form (liquid vs. pill) does not affect these rights.
