Nurses are now responsible for various independent functions, including teaching, counseling,

T L
T L

T L
T T L T L L
T
and intervening in nonmedical problems. Interventions initiated by the physician and carried
L
T T L L

out by the nurse are called dependent functions. Administrating oral analgesics is a dependent
L
T L
T L
T L
T L
T L
T T L T L T L L
T T L T L T L L
T
function; it is initiated by a physician and carried out by a nurse. Requesting diagnostic
L
T T L T L T L T L T L T L T L L
T L
T L
T L
T T L T L T L
studies is a dependent function. Providing wound care is a dependent function; however, the

physician prescribes the type of wound care through direct orders or protocol.
