NPO Order in the System

I would like to seek your experience and your current practice of the "NPO" orders in the system we are a tertiary care hospital, and we are planning to modify the current NPO order in the system.
Can you share your current practice regarding the following:

-How is authorized to place the NPO order in the system?
-What is the default duration on the NPO order in the system?
-what do the default indication build in the system for the NPO order?

Thank you,
