During a period of time when the computerized medication order system was down, the prescriber wrote admission orders, and the nurse is transcribing them. The nurse is having difficulty transcribing one order because of the prescriber’s handwriting. Which is the best action for the nurse to take at this time?


▸ Ask a colleague what the order says.

▸ Contact the prescriber to clarify the order.

▸ Wait until the prescriber makes rounds again to clarify the order.

▸ Ask the patient what medications he takes at home.
