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?

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
