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

• A. Right route
• B. Right patient
• C. Right dose
• D. Right syringe

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is understanding the safety checks used before giving any medication: verify the patient, the medication, the dose, the route, the time, and ensure proper documentation. The six rights are about what you confirm to prevent errors, not the equipment you use to deliver the drug. A syringe is a tool you need to administer the dose correctly, but it isn’t one of the rights you must verify. So the option mentioning a syringe isn’t part of the six safety checks, while the others—patient, medication, dose, route, time, and documentation—are.
