Correct answers: name of medication, concentration (when applicable), dose, route, and frequency.
Explanation: a medication order must clearly state what drug, what strength/concentration (if relevant), how much (dose), how it will be given (route), and how often (frequency). The hospital name is not required on the individual med order itself, and the item labeled just “order” is redundant/ambiguous (a proper order should include prescriber ID/signature, patient identifiers, date/time and any special instructions).
