Which of the following is NOT one of the Five Medication Rights?

• A. Right medication
• B. Right dosage
• C. Right temperature
• D. Right route

Answer: (C)

The main idea tested is safe medication administration using the standard rights: the patient, the medication, the dose, the route, and the time. Right temperature isn’t part of those core rights; it relates to storage and handling to keep a drug stable, not to the act of administering it. So while temperature control is important for ensuring a medication remains effective, it’s not one of the five administrative rights. The other options—right medication, right dosage, and right route—are all fundamental components of those rights, with right time also typically included.
