If you are writing an order and you are paged, which action can pend the unfinished order?

• A. Cancel the order
• B. Save Draft
• C. Save Work to pend
• D. Close window

Answer: (C)

When you’re in the middle of writing an order and you get paged, saving the work to pend keeps the unfinished order in a pending state linked to the patient. Pend means you’re pausing completion and can return to it later without losing the information you’ve entered, so you can resume and finish the order when you’re back. Cancelling would discard what you’ve written, closing the window risks losing the unsaved data, and saving a draft doesn’t place the order into the pending workflow for easy resumption. Pend­ing ensures the unfinished order stays visible and actionable when you’re ready to complete it.
