Answer 1

follow the "five rights" safety check

Step-by-step explanation:

Administering medications requires a healthcare professional (nurse) not to commit any mistakes because he is dealing with the life of a human being. A small mistake may lead to big consequences. In order to do this, he must follow the "five rights" safety check of the 5 "Rs". These include:

1. Right Drug

2. Right Dose

3. Right Time

4. Right Route

5. Right Person

Such role of the nurse should also be followed by parents at home who are administering medications to their children or to anyone they're taking care of.
