Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse receiving a verbal order or telephone order writes down the complete order or enters it into the computer as it is being given.Then the nurse reads it back,called read-back,and receives confirmation from the person who gave the order.The medication will still be given because in most institutions the health care provider has 24 hours to sign the order.Verification is in the read-back with the person who ordered the medication,not with pharmacy or another nurse.
