Dear nurses,

The image above, offers helpful information for

What is the MAR?

The MAR is the medication administration record.
It is a complete record which is kept on every patient.

It includes the patient's name, age, diagnosis, height,
weight and allergies. All medications ordered by the
doctor and a place to sign when medications are given.

Five rights:

There are 5 basic rights for medication administration.
Over time, more rights have been recognized. This may
vary from 7 or more. Always follow your Institution's
policies and procedures, in order to avoid error.
