[Answered]: A health care provider (HCP) calls the hospital…

A health care provider (HCP) calls the hospital unit and requests to leave a new prescription for a client over the phone as the HCP does not have access to the electronic health record (EHR) at present. What action would the nurse take? Receive the prescription over the phone and repeat it back to the HCP to verify accuracy. Ask the charge nurse to receive the telephone prescription from the HCP. Request the HCP text the prescription via mobile phone to reduce the risk for misinterpretation. Reinforce that all client prescriptions must be entered directly by the HCP into the EHR.
