The correct answer is: Ensuring the cost-effectiveness of the medication

The primary responsibility of a nurse in drug administration is ensuring the cost-effectiveness of the medication. This involves considering the patient's financial situation and finding the most affordable yet effective treatment option. Understanding the medication's reason for prescription, verifying the pharmacy's supply method, and knowing the patient's insurance details are all important aspects of drug administration but do not take precedence over ensuring the cost-effectiveness of the medication.
