Rationale 1: The nurse practitioner has prescriptive authority, and may order diagnostic tests and medications, so the nurse should carry out the orders as written. There is no need to notify the supervisor, and the nurse, not the nurse practitioner, would carry out the orders. There is no need to obtain approval from the physician for these orders unless the nurse questions the correctness of the order, and then the nurse practitioner, not the physician, would be consulted.
