TRUE/FALSE
1. The sonographer should always review available patient information.
ANS: T
A sonographer is responsible for acquiring patient information pertinent to the ultrasound
study before the examination procedure.
OBJ: Describe the importance of reviewing the patient's chart/EMR (electronic medical record)
prior to the examination. TOP: Before the Ultrasound Examination
2. The sonographer should write technical observations of the ultrasound examination in the
patient’s chart.
ANS: F
The sonographer’s technical observations serve as a reference for the interpreting
physician. Written documentation of any type almost always becomes part of the patient’s
medical
record. Final interpretation of the ultrasound images and technical observations is always
the responsibility of the interpreting physician.
OBJ: Describe the importance of reviewing the patient's chart/EMR (electronic medical record)
prior to the examination. TOP: Before the Ultrasound Examination
3. The sonographer should always review the ultrasound request form.
ANS: T
The process of reviewing available patient information begins with the sonographer
reviewing the ultrasound request form.
OBJ: Describe the importance of reviewing the patient's chart/EMR (electronic medical record)
prior to the examination. TOP: Before the Ultrasound Examination
4. The sonographer should always provide the interpretive report.
ANS: F
An interpretive report is a formal, legal report of the ultrasound findings by a sonologist,
radiologist, or other interpreting physician. A sonographer should never provide diagnoses,
because this would be unjustified and potentially legally compromising.
OBJ: Contrast technical observation and interpretive report.
TOP: How to Describe Ultrasound Findings
5. Procedural consent forms are found in the patient’s chart.
ANS: T

OBJ: Describe the importance of reviewing the patient's chart/EMR (electronic medical record)
prior to the examination. TOP: Before the Ultrasound Examination
9. The ultrasound request form contains the patient’s identification number.
ANS: T
The ultrasound request form should include the patient’s identification data, the clinical
symptoms, the type of examination requested, and the reason for the examination.
OBJ: Describe the importance of reviewing the patient's chart/EMR (electronic medical record)
prior to the examination. TOP: Before the Ultrasound Examination
10. The ultrasound request form contains the patient’s Social Security number.

OBJ: Describe the importance of reviewing the patient's chart/EMR (electronic medical record)
prior to the examination. TOP: Before the Ultrasound Examination
11. The ultrasound request form indicates whether the examination is a regularly scheduled
exam or a “stat” exam.
ANS: T
