assessing the benefits and risks of a medication

informing the patient of the indication for the medication

Explanation:

When confirming "the right medication," stating the name of the medication, who ordered it, and the intended effect is a direct way to ensure the correct medication is being administered. Assessing benefits and risks (usually a more in - depth task often done by a prescriber), informing about indication (not the core of confirming the right medication), and evaluating effects (post - administration) are not the key actions for confirming the right medication at the time of administration.

Answer:

stating the name of the medication, who ordered it, and the intended effect of the medication
