There are many ways nurses can use to decrease the risk for liability. One way to do this is to avoid taking verbal or telephone orders from a health care practitioner. If it is necessary for the nurse to take a verbal or telephone order, always repeat the order back to the provider and document on the physician's order sheet that the order was "read back" and "verified."
