The nurse has a legal responsibility to the client to ensure that the order is clear and appropriate to the client's treatment. When the nurse queries a physician order, the physician should be contacted to obtain clarification. ?Standards for nursing practice for administration of medication provide, in pertinent part that: Medications must be accurately administered and documented. Accurate administration includes transcribing the drug order correctly, delivering the correct drug, to the correct resident, by the correct route, in the correct dose. Accurate documentation involves recording information on the drug administered, including the client's response to the medication.
