During medication administration, which of the following practices demonstrates adherence to patient rights?

A. Performing the three label checks every time a medication is administered: Checking the medication label against the prescription three times—when retrieving, preparing, and before administering—ensures the right drug, dose, and route are given. This practice upholds patient safety and compliance with the “five rights” of medication administration. B. Skipping the identification process to save time: Failing to properly identify the patient violates patient rights and increases the risk of medication errors. Proper identification using two identifiers is essential before every medication administration. C. Ignoring time-critical medication schedules: Medications with narrow therapeutic windows require precise timing to be effective. Ignoring schedules can compromise treatment efficacy and patient safety, violating patient rights. D. Administering medication based on verbal orders alone: Relying solely on verbal orders increases the risk of miscommunication and errors. Written or electronic orders are required to verify accuracy and maintain accountability, ensuring adherence to patient rights.
