No, A manager cannot overide a providers order or the facility policy. If there is a discrepancy between one of those it needs to be clarified. If a manager wants you to straight cath instead of placing an indwelling cath you still need an MD order. I once had a manager want me to start chemo on a pt that had not yet signed a chemo consent, which was policy, and I told him I would do it but chart that he told me too (I was bluffing bc I never would have) and he backed down. Always keep your ducks in a row!
