How much MA work falls under our scope of practice as an x-ray tech at an urgent care?

By

I'm working a travel contract at a pretty slow urgent care for x-rays so they seem to be expecting me to do a lot more medical assistant duties like strep and COVID swabs and doing general vitals on patients and that sort of thing.

I don't have a problem getting vitals and even running some swabs that the MA has already taken if I'm not busy but I don't want to be expected to run out and get vitals and do MA duties on every other patient that comes in.

I'm confident enough to tell them I don't feel comfortable doing some of these things but I'm just wondering if I legally am not supposed to be doing intrusive things like swabs in the throat if I'm not licensed as an MA?

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
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/
