Question: Before you place a call to a physician, an important thing to do is: Question options: have a cup of coffee, because oftentimes holds are lengthy. have everything that may be needed during the call, such as the patient's chart, the correct phone number, and main points to discuss. make sure it is not close to a lunch break, so if the call takes longer than expected, it does not interfere. time the call so the call-back will come when there are only nurses on the unit, so the person who is answering can take orders if necessary?
