Which step completes a medication order in Epic ASAP?

• A. Accept the order in the BPA.
• B. Save and go to the next screen.
• C. Enter the drug name and choose a dose.
• D. Specify dose, route, frequency, start/stop dates, and sign.

Answer: (D)

Finalizing a medication order in Epic ASAP requires you to complete all dosing details and authorize it. The step that does this is specifying the dose, route, frequency, start and stop dates, and then signing the order. This combination turns the entered information into an active order ready for administration. Accepting a BPA is just acknowledging an alert, not completing the order. Entering the drug name and a dose alone is incomplete because it lacks route, timing, and authorization. Saving and moving to the next screen doesn’t finalize the order either.
