Feedback A A telephone order involves a physician stating a prescribed therapy over the phone to a registered nurse. B I am unable to take the order at this time. Please call in the morning is not an appropriate response and is not in the patient's best interest. C It is best to repeat any prescribed orders back to the physician, who can then verify whether it is correct or clarify the order. A registered nurse must be the one to take the verbal order. D Let me have your phone number, and I will have the supervisor call you back is not the appropriate response. A registered nurse must take the verbal order; the nursing supervisor does not need to take it. |
