Rights of Medication Administration

By now most of you are familiar with the first six rights of medication administration: Patient, Medication, Dosage, Route, Time, & Documentation. Did you know that there are more rights? A nurse also needs to perform the right Assessment prior to administration, offer the right Education regarding the medication(s) given, honor the client's right to Refuse medications, and perform the right Evaluation after administering the medications (10 Rights, 2007). Can you think of additional "rights" that could be included?
