"A physician has ordered a CT scan of the chest on a patient from the psych floor. The exam
requires a contrast medium to be given. The patient left the floor without a consent form being
signed. Once in CT, it was discovered that there was no consent form. CT calls the floor to asks if
there was anyone to give consent. The patient's 16-year old son is the only person available and
he gives a verbal consent. What is the LEAST appropriate action that can be taken?
a. The radiographer knowing the need for the contrast medium, checks the verbal consent box
and proceeds with the procedure injecting the contrast medium.
b. The radiographer is aware that consent is necessary for the contrast medium, so she calls the
floor and uses the verbal consent given by the patient's son.
c. The radiographer is aware she cannot use the verbal consent from the son, so she sends the
patient back to the floor and documents all the inf - CORRECT ANSWER=> The radiographer
knowing the need for the contrast medium, checks the verbal consent box and proceeds with
the procedure injecting the contrast medium."
