Under what circumstances should verbal orders be issued, according to the Commission Rule?

  1. Routine check-ups

  2. Emergency or unusual circumstances

  3. During medical operations

  4. At the patient's request

The correct answer is: Emergency or unusual circumstances

Verbal orders are recommended to be issued in emergency or unusual circumstances according to the Commission Rule. This is because immediate action may be necessary to prevent harm or death to the patient. Issuing verbal orders in routine check-ups or at the patient's request may not be necessary or appropriate. Additionally, during medical operations, written orders are typically preferred to ensure proper documentation and communication among medical staff.
