# Verifying Orders

Verification shows that the nurse has seen the order.

When a nurse verifies an order, the nurse's initials are then placed in the appropriate column on the Orders tab.

Note: If you do not have the correct key, you will not see the Verify option on the Action menu.

1. Select the Orders tab.

2. Hold down the CTRL key and click the orders you want to verify.

3. Select Action | Verify.

4. In the dialog that appears, enter your electronic signature code.
