I'm at a loss how to reply; could you give a little background to the "why" of the question -- what brought this up? What exactly do you want to know?

Thanks. -- D

When the orders seem correct, and they will not injure or otherwise harm the patient. When they are in your scope of practice to follow is another I can think of.

You may need to clarify your question RN2B...this is vague :)

Maybe a better question would be "what are good reasons NOT to follow doctor's orders?"
