給藥安全的首要原則是「確保護理對象正確」。根據病人安全目標（National Patient Safety Goals），必須使用至少兩種辨識符（如姓名與出生日期），並與病人的腕帶核對。這是防止給藥錯誤（Medication Error）最基礎且最重要的防線。其他步驟如核對藥單、確認給藥工具雖亦重要，但若病人辨識錯誤，後續步驟均無效。
The first principle of medication safety is verifying the right patient. National Patient Safety Goals require at least two identifiers (e.g., name and date of birth) matched against the wristband. This is the most fundamental defense against medication errors. Other steps such as checking the MAR and providing water are important but become meaningless if the wrong patient is identified.
