Where can I find documentation of regulations liability for nurses taking telephone orders from and unknown MD while working in a non medical facility

Specializes in ER, progressive care.

Maybe your state BON would be a good place to start?

Specializes in Trauma Surgical ICU.

non medical facility.. what does that mean. If it doesn't offer/do pt care of any kind;why would you need to take a MD order?

Sorry if I sound clueless but I'm confused.

Specializes in CC, MS, ED, Clinical Research.

Non medical facility? This makes no sense. However, most medical facilities have hospital policies to govern this issue. If you have questions, see charge nurse or nurse manager.
