Answer to Question 1

C
There are many ways nurses can use to decrease the risk for liability. One way to do this is to avoid taking verbal or telephone orders from a health care practitioner. If it is necessary for the nurse to take a verbal or telephone order, always repeat the order back to the provider and document on the physician's order sheet that the order was read back and verified.

Answer to Question 2

B
Professional responsibility and accountability are two primary reasons why nurses document. Thorough documentation provides a method of communication among health care team members, written evidence of what was done for the patient and evidence of compliance with professional practice standards. Evidence of physician orders is not seen in documentation nor is the evidence of staffing patterns or consent for treatments.
