Which of the following is NOT one of the eight rights of medication administration recognized for CMAs in Oklahoma?

• A. Right resident
• B. Right medication
• C. Right to refuse
• D. Right to consent to treatment

Answer: (D)

Focusing on safe medication administration, these rights are about verifying the correct resident, the correct medication, the correct dose, the correct route, the correct time, and proper documentation, while honoring a resident’s right to refuse. Consent to treatment is a broader patient-rights issue and is typically obtained by a licensed clinician, not treated as one of the medication-administration rights CMAs follow. Because of that, the option describing the right to consent to treatment isn’t part of the eight rights CMAs use when giving medications.
