Question

question 31 1 pts you have received a request to perform a radiographic study on a patient who is clearly intoxicated but coherent. in preparing to perform this procedure, you should close all the examination room doors to prevent others from hearing the patient’s language. put on a patient gown and gloves in case the patient vomits or has bodily discharges. ensure your safety by checking to see that the hospital security officer will stay with the patient during the procedure. instruct the patient of what you are going to do using firm, forceful commands to show your confidence.

Explanation:

• Closing doors for language privacy is unethical and not a priority.
• Patient gowns are for patients, not staff; gloves alone may not suffice here.
• Using forceful commands is unprofessional and may agitate the patient.
• An intoxicated patient may be unpredictable, so having security ensures safety for all.

Answer:

C. ensure your safety by checking to see that the hospital security officer will stay with the patient during the procedure.
