With standing orders,you carry out a standing order until the health care provider cancels it by another order or until a prescribed number of days elapses.A prn order is one in which the health care provider orders a medication to be given only when a patient requires it.Single (one-time)orders happen when a prescriber orders a medication to be given only once at a specified time.A STAT order means that you give a single dose of a medication immediately and only once.
