Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is important to read the order back to the prescriber for accuracy and have the order signed as soon as possible to ensure clear communication and a written record of the order. Waiting to follow the order until it is signed is not always possible, especially in emergency situations, but having the order signed promptly is still important.
