How Can Nurses Ensure Medication Safety?

Nurses can ensure medication safety by adhering to the "five rights" of medication administration: the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route, and the right time. Additionally, double-checking medications, accurately documenting administration, and educating patients about their medications can significantly reduce the risk of errors. Using technology, such as bar-code scanning systems, can also enhance medication safety.
