Documentation question

I'm going over some practice questions in preparation for my exam and I'm stumped by this particular question.

A patient is about to go to the OR after your xrays, and you notice that the nurse administered something via IV, but they did not document it. As a technologist, what is your responsibility?

A. Tell the radiologist

B. Tell that nurse

C. Call the OR nurse

D. File an incident report.

My natural instinct would be just to tell them? I don't think I would realistically be watching them type in their documentation. Or would you really need to file an incident report?

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
