Grabbing the wrong box is quickly done under high time pressure. <\/li><li><strong>Right time<\/strong>: know when to administer the medication. For example, before or after dinner or in the morning or in the evening. In addition, the times when you give the medicine must of course be well spread throughout the day.  <\/li><li><strong>Correct way of administering<\/strong>: make sure you know how and where to administer the medicine. Because the operation can change significantly if you do it the wrong way. <\/li><li><strong>Correct dose<\/strong>: misread the comma? Or instead of 10 milligrams I gave 10 grams? You may think you&#8217;ll never make that mistake, but it happens anyway! Therefore, always check once more whether the dose is correct.   <\/li><\/ol><p>Are you aware of the latest rules of the Vilans protocols for administering medication to a client? Make sure you are competent, but above all competent in administering medicines.
