For this reason, the patient active rights of medication system was developed to provide nurses and others who dispense medication with a tool designed to help prevent mishaps.

Even though all nurses learn this system during their schooling, there has been an increase in recent years of medication errors that have resulted in harm to the patient.

  • The right patient
  • The right drug
  • The right dose
  • The right route
  • The right time
