Serious question for the residents in here.

Is there a practical reason to order P.O. Ativan for a patient currently having anxiety issues in the MRI scanner?

Let me set up the scenario.

I call a patient up for a 10 minute MRI of their brain. SURPRISE! They find out they are severely claustrophobic. You as the resident get the request for meds from the nurse or myself.

Considering I am not a physician, please walk me through the process of choosing P.O. or I.V.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
