Follow procedures at work; think carefully about who bears responsibility before offering unsolicited help

No cost involved. Simply follow institutional rules, medical orders, and established procedures while performing your duties. Do not make decisions on behalf of others outside your authority. Before attempting to help, ask yourself: “Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?” The real challenge lies in resisting requests for “flexibility” on the spot.

Taking nurses as the example, regulations set duty boundaries as follows. Critical illness: notify the physician at once. In emergencies to save a critically ill patient, necessary emergency care may be given first. Illegal or non-standard medical orders: raise them with the physician, and report to the department head if needed. The Civil Code adds: voluntary emergency assistance that harms the rescued party—the rescuer bears no civil liability (nationwide).

Within your post, follow the established procedures; emergency life-saving actions are protected by law. For all other matters, first clarify whose authority and responsibility they are; do not substitute personal goodwill for institutional decisions. The Nursing Regulations were revised 2020 years ago by State Council Order No. 726, and only the clauses regarding registration were changed; Article 17 remains unchanged. Regarding the provisions in the Physician Law concerning practicing according to clinical standards, the official original text could not be accessed this time, so it was not cited.
