Answer to Question 1

Very politely tell the doctor you are not a nurse and cannot take an order. Assure him you will find the nurse to speak with him as quickly as you can and proceed to do so. It is beyond your role and scope of practice to take an order under any circumstance from a physician.

Answer to Question 2

D
