If your questioning the verbal order just call the dr to confirm it or ask the mom to call dr and you speak with the dr so you can hear the order. And with my agency the dr visits are mandatory but if we did go it would be ok & we would still get paid. And my train of thought on that is this, 1) you get to meet the team if drs that work with your patient, 2) you can hear first hand any med changes or further appointments, & 3) you could still help with the child and give the mom a break. Good luck!!!
