An OT receives a verbal order from a physician to add ultrasound to a client's treatment plan. According to best documentation practices, the therapist should:
-
A
Begin treatment immediately and document the verbal order with a note that written confirmation is pending
-
B
Wait until the written order arrives before initiating any treatment
-
C
Decline the order because OTs do not carry out physician verbal orders
-
D
Document the order only after the physician co-signs the chart
