A nurse obtained a telephone order from a primary care provider for a patient in pain. Which chart entry should the nurse document?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C because it includes all essential components of a proper chart entry for a telephone order. It specifies the medication (Morphine), dose (2 mg IV), frequency (every 4 hours), indication (incisional pain), recipient (patient), ordering provider (Dr. Day Winds), and documentation of verification by the nurse. Option A lacks the ordering provider's name, Option B misses the ordering provider's name and verification by the nurse, and Option D uses "VO" instead of "TO" for telephone order, which is incorrect. Therefore, Option C is the most comprehensive and accurate choice.
