What happens when you single-click a medication order in the ED Navigator?

• A. It opens a problem list
• B. It cancels the order
• C. The order composer populates with the chosen order
• D. It closes the patient chart

Answer: (C)

In the ED Navigator, single-clicking a medication order loads that medication into the order entry screen, known as the order composer. This preloads the medication’s name and default details (like dose, route, and frequency) so you can review, adjust as needed, and then place the order. It’s a fast, streamlined way to start an order without retyping everything. This action isn’t related to opening a problem list, canceling an order, or closing the patient chart—those require different steps or actions.
