Reviewing the 10 Rights of Medication Administration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are currently ten rights of administration that nurses need to consider before giving any medication to a patient. In the perioperative environment, ORNAC standards require that circulating and scrub nurses follow seven of these rights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although these rights are not completed by nurses in the OR, they should be done by the perioperative team at various points in the process. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The right to refuse <\/strong>\u2013 The surgeon should discuss the medications usually given during a specific surgery with the patient during a preoperative meeting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The right to education<\/strong> \u2013 Postoperative care includes education about medications that have been given during surgery.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The right to evaluation<\/strong> \u2013 The perioperative team jointly monitors medication effects during and after surgery. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
