a) Administering medications correctly is a fundamental part of the intervention stage, ensuring safe and effective drug therapy.

b) Monitoring the patient for therapeutic and adverse effects is essential to assess the drug’s effectiveness and identify any potential complications.

c) Educating the patient about the medications helps promote adherence and ensures the patient understands the drug’s purpose, potential side effects, and proper administration.

d) Documenting the administration and effects of the medications is crucial for maintaining accurate medical records, tracking patient response, and ensuring continuity of care.

b) "Solution," "doctor," and "shift" are not part of the six rights. The focus should be on ensuring the correct patient receives the right medication in the right manner.

c) "Order" and "signature" are important for verifying prescriptions, but they are not included in the six rights of administration.
