Tammy is a nurse at a skilled nursing facility. One of the residents, Ben, has been experiencing increasing pain as the result of a condition with which he was diagnosed a couple of months ago by his physician. Until now, an NSAID had controlled Ben’s pain. Tammy called the physician, who told her that he would now like to have Ben put on morphine. He instructed the nurse to order from the pharmacy 15 mg tablets, #50, with the directions of 1 every 6 hours. The nurse phoned the order in to the pharmacy. Is the oral order of the nurse legal under federal law? Is this an emergency situation? If not, how should the prescription order have been transmitted to the pharmacy?
