ANS: A, B, D, E
Date, time, drug name, dosage, and route of administration are included in the seven rights of medication administration. The patient should be educated about the drug being administered. The nurse should observe for adverse drug effects. Evaluating the drug's therapeutic effectiveness is important. Unless the receptacle used is unusual, it does not need to be noted.
