Where would you view or confirm that a protocol order was not entered per protocol?

• A. The orders were a protocol but not entered "per protocol"
• B. The orders were entered per protocol
• C. The orders were not a protocol
• D. The orders were canceled automatically

Answer: (A)

The key idea is identifying whether a protocol order was followed exactly in its entry. When a protocol order exists but isn’t entered per protocol, you’ll find evidence in the order details or the protocol adherence/audit trail showing that the order originated from a protocol yet the entry path didn’t conform to the per-protocol steps. In practice, you’d look for a protocol-derived order with a non‑per‑protocol entry status or a note in the adherence log indicating deviation. This is precisely what the statement describes: the orders were a protocol but not entered per protocol. If they were entered per protocol, you’d see the compliant entry; if they weren’t a protocol, the protocol origin wouldn’t apply; and if they were canceled automatically, the status would reflect cancellation rather than non‑per‑protocol entry.
