What must happen to verbal orders not subject to passive authorization policy?

  1. Be recorded in the patient's chart

  2. Be approved by the nursing staff

  3. Be countersigned by the prescriber

  4. Be deleted from the record

The correct answer is: Be countersigned by the prescriber

When a verbal order is not subject to passive authorization policy, it means that it cannot be automatically approved without review. In this case, the provider who gave the verbal order must also review and sign it as well. This is known as countersigning. Options A, B, and D do not address the need for countersigning, making them incorrect choices. Recording the verbal order in the patient's chart may be a part of the process, but it is not sufficient on its own. Approval by the nursing staff is also not enough as the provider must still review and sign the order. Deleting the record is not a correct or appropriate action to take.
