Rationale: A single order administered immediately is called a stat order. These are written for emergencies. A PRN order is given only when the patient needs it. A standing order is made for a specific condition requiring the drug to be administered. A routine order specifies that a drug is administered until a discontinuation order is written or until a specified termination date is reached.
