A. Yes. Nothing in the Kansas Nurse Practice Act prevents a nurse from receiving a physicians order through an unlicensed person. The Healing Arts Act does not preclude a physician from relaying an order through an unlicensed person. A nurse still has a duty to know that it is a legitimate physician order and to question the order if it does not seem standard/correct. Some liability carriers preclude an insured from engaging in this practice because having a middleman/unlicensed individual can increase the margin for error. Check your facility policy/procedure to see if it is prohibited or allowed.
