The "administration" of treatment means the methodology used in the application of the treatment to the person. It includes the giving of a drug, the use of machinery and external techniques to monitor the progress of therapy and the positioning and placement of a person so as to receive treatment properly. In short, "administration" covers the process of activity purposefully aimed at the giving of a treatment to a person. As such, more than one person may be involved in the administration.

CONT

Lack of adhering to the proper administration of treatment modalities can only be considered as malpractice and a violation of the patient's constitutional rights and could contribute to the patient's early demise.
