RN QuestionRating: (votes: 0) Nope, you can't misrepresent the person. Maybe you mean taking a verbal order and recording it like you would for a doctor? The procedure should be identical, just that you have to notate that the provder is an NP, since that is their title. Comment:
That sounds right to me--document it the same as you would from a doc "2/16/11 2210 Verbal order to Mary Jones, RN/ from Helen Smith, NPIncrease HCTZ from 12.5 mg PO daily to 25mg PO to begin with 2/17 dose."*the NP then needs to sign the order--check your facility policy on the time frame. Some are 24 hours, so flag the order so it can be signed.
Comment:
There just seems to be no end to ways facilities will ask us to do risky, unethical, illegal, and potentially career ending things for them. Probably could start a thread on that alone.
Comment:
Is it because the blank on the form says "physician's name?"
