For Autonomous NP: Signing DNR order

Posted about 3 hours ago by Vicky Stone-Gale on FNPN (Reposted by Cindy Drew APRN for SCNPs)

If you are an Autonomous APRN and will be signing a DNR order, it is recommended that you also attach a copy of F.S. 464.0123 highlighting the exact language that states you can sign any documents that the physician can sign. This would possibly prevent questioning of your signature since there is no place for the APRN to sign on the document.
