Look, it's a trivial order because it's one that cannot hurt the patient.
If the nurse puts an order in my name for a medication? Potential to harm the patient. Even things such as tylenol could potentially be contraindicated for whatever reason. Heck, the only completely benign pharmacological treatments I could think of would be things like osmotic laxatives, and even they have contraindications.
Nurse puts an order for oxygen under my name? Happens all the time. Or they do it without an order. Still has the potential to harm the patient, whether through worsening a V/Q mismatch (causing potential for more CO2 retention), the haldane effect, reducing the respiratory drive, or anything else.
On the other hand, if the nurse uses my name to order a PT, OT, nutrition, social work, or other ancillary service consult? It may be too early to do any good, but it doesn't have the potential to actively harm the patient. *Most* patients have some component of deconditioning. All patients have the question of their ultimate disposition. When it's not obvious, we consult our colleagues in physical and occupational therapy to assist us with evaluation and management of the patient.
I have the utmost respect for both disciplines... but the act of placing the consult order itself is trivial.
