A nurse who administers a medication that is unsafe is liable for the error

The Joint Commission (TJC) requires healthcare organizations to use the read-back method when taking verbal or telephone orders to ensure accurate communication between healthcare professionals. The authorized individual receiving the order should first write it down, then read it back to the prescriber to confirm that it is accurate, and finally receive confirmation from the prescriber that the order has been received and recorded correctly. This process helps to prevent medication errors and ensure the safety of the clients receiving the prescribed treatment.

These are important principles that nurses follow to ensure that medications are given safely and accurately to clients. The six rights are:

1. Right medication: ensuring that the medication being administered is the correct one prescribed for the client.

2. Right dose: ensuring that the correct amount of medication is given to the client.

3. Right route: ensuring that the medication is given via the correct route (oral, topical, intravenous, etc.). 4. Right time: ensuring that the medication is given at the correct time as per the prescribed schedule. 5. Right client: ensuring that the medication is given to the correct client/patient by verifying their identity. 6. Right documentation: ensuring that the medication administration is accurately documented, including themedication name, dose, route, time, and any adverse reactions or other pertinent information. The other answer choices do not accurately represent the six rights of medication administration.
