the physician has reason to believe the physician assistant or
advanced practice nurse lacked the competency to perform the act, a
physician is not liable for an act of a physician assistant or

standing medical order, a standing delegation order, or another
order or protocol authorizing the physician assistant or advanced
practice nurse to administer, provide, carry out, or sign a
prescription drug order.
