Which of the following is NOT one of the six rights of medication administration?

• A. Right documentation
• B. Right drug
• C. Right time
• D. Right lot number

Answer: (D)

The main idea is safe medication administration through verifying the essential elements before giving a drug. The six rights are: right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, right time, and right documentation. Right lot number isn’t one of these bedside checks; it’s part of inventory and quality control used for recalls and tracing a batch, not a standard step you perform at the patient’s bedside. So while you may review expiration dates or batch information during inventory or pharmacy processes, the bedside safety check centers on matching the patient, the medication, the dose, the route, the timing, and then documenting administration.
