There's probably more to this story.

Also if a doctor ordered a serum ethanol panel on an unconscious patient, the nurse either must do it or find a nurse who will. Ethanol poisoning is potentially lethal. Refusing to draw labs on a sick patient is really bad.

Also as far as we can tell, no doctor ordered it and it sounds like the person on the phone was her supervisor who was also saying that it was against hospital policy.
