Question

Many tasks in health care must be "ordered" by a person licensed with the authority to do so. For example, nurses, medical assistants (and others) can NOT administer medicine without a doctor's* written order. Generally you cannot take blood and run tests without a 'doctor's order' either. You need a 'doctor's order' to perform an x-ray or any other imaging test. You even need a 'doctor's order' to advise the patient to take some Tylenol.
