Medication Administration is the clinical process of safely giving prescribed drugs to patients, including verifying the correct medication, dose, route, and timing. It is a core responsibility for nurses, medical assistants, and other licensed caregivers, often governed by strict protocols like the 'five rights' of medication administration to prevent errors. Competency in this skill is required for certification and licensure in most nursing and caregiving roles.
