D

Transcribing orders means to transfer them to the Kardex and/or MAR. Preferably both the generic and trade name of the drug should be recorded. The nurse giving the actual care should be informed of the order change but does not need a copy of the order. Questions relative to unclear orders are clarified with the prescribing physician.

B

A nurse can best minimize liability for a lawsuit by demonstrating concern and attending to patient complaints and concerns. Adherence to procedures and policies may be a defense in a lawsuit but does not necessarily diminish the risk. Advising the supervisor of a significant event does not diminish the risk.
