A, B
Nurses are responsible for carrying out medical treatment unless the physician's or health care provider's order is in error, violates hospital policy, or is harmful to the patient. Therefore it is imperative to assess all orders and, if they appear to be erroneous or harmful to the patient, to obtain further clarification from the physician or health care provider.
