sounds like homework. You could find the answer to these in a nursing school book. You need to figure out which ones are doctor's orders and which ones are nursing orders. Think of repercussions. If you were to do one of these without a doctor's order, could you potentially cause harm?? Don't do those that might cause harm without an order to back you up.
You have the answer there next to each one, do you need a rationale??
