  • Doctors are not normally present during late duty and medication isn't usually administered by nurses.
  • The procedure involved a field experiment consisting twenty-two night nurses.
  • A telephone call was received from Dr. Smith advising the nurses to check if drug Astoten is available. 
  • The nurse checked, found the bottle labelled Astroten 5mg and confirmed the 10mg maximum dosage to the doctor. 
  • The doctor advised the nurse to administer 20mg of Astrotento a patient called Mr Jones. The doctor claimed to be running late and advised he would sign the authorisation form when he arrived at the hospital

  • Twenty-one out of twenty-two nurses were influenced into carrying out the order from the doctor.
  • Theory and reinforces the findings of Milgram.
  • The medical ethics was not followed, dosage must not be exceeded.
  • The nurses undermine their profession.
  • After the fact, only eleven nurses admitted to being aware of the dosage limits for Astroten. The other ten did noticed but judged it must be safe if a doctor had ordered them to administer it. 
  • The results of the research affect the field of psychology, the way we think, view behavioural aspect, and its influence on society.
