Drug administration means the act in which a single dose of a prescribed drug or biological is given to a patient. The complete act of administration entails removing an individual dose from a container (including a unit dose container), verifying the dose with the prescriber's orders, identifying the patient, giving the individual dose to the patient, and promptly recording the time, method of administration, and dose given.
