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, giving the individual dose to the patient and promptly recording the time and dose given.
