Which of the following is one of the six rights of medication administration?

• A. Right patient
• B. Right documentation
• C. Right dose
• D. Right color

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is ensuring safe medication administration by adhering to the established rights that guide every dose. Documentation is one of these rights because it creates a permanent, traceable record of what was given, when, by whom, and any patient responses or adverse effects. This record helps ensure continuity of care, confirms that the dose matches the order, and provides accountability and legal protection for the clinician. Among the options, documenting the administration fits this standard exactly, since the other common rights—verifying the patient, the dose, and the route—are also essential, while a color detail is not recognized as a formal right in the medication administration framework.
