What does "6 of 6" specify when it comes to medication administration?

1. Right medication route

2. Right storage conditions

3. Right patient instructions

4. Right documentation

The correct answer is: Right documentation

This question is asking about the "6 of 6" in the context of medication administration, which is a common phrase used to refer to the "Six Rights" of medication administration. These include the right patient, the right medication, the right dose, the right time, the right route, and the right documentation. Therefore, the "6 of 6" refers to the last right which is the right documentation. This means that when administering medication, it is important to document all the other rights in order to ensure safe and accurate medication administration. Option A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not address the specific meaning of "6 of 6" in the given context. Option A refers to the right medication route, which is one of the Six Rights, but not specifically related to the "6 of 6" phrase. Option B refers to the right storage conditions, which is not part of the Six Rights at all. Option C refers to the right patient instructions, which is also not part of the Six Rights and does not address the meaning of "6 of 6." Therefore, the correct answer is D.
