Which item is NOT part of the Rights of medication administration?

• A. Right patient
• B. Right location
• C. Right dose
• D. Right time

Answer: (B)

Medication administration safety relies on a set of checks known as the rights of administration. The core rights typically focus on the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route, and the right time. Some curricula add rights like the right reason, the right to refuse, and the right documentation. Location, meaning where on the body or where the patient is housed, isn’t listed as a separate right. Those details are addressed by selecting the correct route and injection site as part of proper technique, not as a standalone right. So the item that doesn’t belong is location.
