a. A dosimetry badge, properly placed, must be worn at ALL times during both the observation and clinical education phases. b. When protective aprons are used, the dosimetry badge must be placed above the apron, at collar level. c. Dosimetry badges must be turned into the Allied Health Secretary by the 10 th of each quarter. 2. When an X-ray exposure is about to be made, you MUST: a. Leave the room, or b. Get behind the lead shield, or c. Be otherwise suitably protected for surgery, portable and fluoroscopic work. 3. Specifically, you must not hold or support a patient during exposure, nor hold or support a cassette during exposure. 4. You may not observe the patient during exposure from an adjacent room or hall unless through a lead-glass protective window. You must NOT "peak" around a door nor though a crack between door and wall. 5. When sitting to rest in the hall do not sit in direct line with the tube or radiographic table even if it is not being used. 6. During an exposure or procedure do not place yourself in direct line with the central ray, even though you are wearing a lead apron. 7. Under no circumstances will you permit yourself or any other human being to serve as "patients" for test exposures or experimentation. 8. If, during fluoroscopic procedures, you remain in the radiographic room the following will prevail: a. A lead apron must be worn at all times/or you must remain behind an adequate lead protective screen and not in visible line with either tube or patient. b. The dosimetry badge must be worn above lead apron at collar level. 9. Do not make exposures on patients. XV. Pregnancy Policy and Procedures Policy Regarding Declared Pregnant Students It is your responsibility to notify the program director of the pregnancy. ‣ The student must receive written permission from her physician to continue in the program o Should the student be completing a clinical rotation, the data must be shared with the clinical affiliation as well. ‣ Pregnant students need to be aware that there is a high probability that completion of the program will be delayed/extended/terminated as required courses are offered sequentially and only once in the 18-month program ‣ Pregnant students will not be scanned nor volunteer to be scanned during their clinical experience. ‣ Any rotations in a radiographic application will not be scheduled during the term of pregnancy ‣ The pregnant student needs to be aware that the biggest risk to the unborn occurs during the first trimester. As all clinical affiliation rotations occur within a Diagnostic Imaging Department (Radiology), students need to be tested for pregnancy as soon 36
as she feels there is a reason to do so. This will allow for appropriate adjustments to be made, if possible. ‣ Pregnancies will NOT be scanned on the Merced College campus. Pregnant students, who learn of their pregnancy in the DMS laboratory, will cease that scanning session immediately and notify the Program Director. Students who are scanning a volunteer in the open skills lab who find an incidental pregnancy will cease that scanning session. ‣ The student will notify her clinical preceptor of a declared pregnancy. The clinical affiliation will enact their policy for pregnant students. The program director and/or clinical coordinator will communicate with the clinical affiliate. XVI. Student Supervision A. Policy on Supervision of Sonography Students 1. Students must have adequate and proper supervision during all clinical assignments, which would include direct supervision until a student is signed off for competency on the respective sonographic exam &/or procedure. Direct Supervision - The following conditions constitute direct supervision: a. A qualified sonographer reviews the request for the sonographic examination (a) to determine the capability of the student to perform the examination with reasonable success; or (b) to determine if the condition of the patient contraindicates performance of the examination by the student. b. If either of the above determinations is questionable or negative, a qualified sonographer should be present in the ultrasound room. c. The qualified sonographer reviews and approves the sonographic images prior to the dismissal of the patient. Medical judgment may supersede this provision. 2. Once a student has demonstrated competency in a particular sonographic exam, or procedure, the student may be indirectly supervised by a qualified sonographer. Indirect Supervision is defined as supervision provided by a qualified sonographer immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. Immediately available is interpreted as the presence of a qualified sonographer adjacent to the room or location where an ultrasound examination or procedure is being performed. 3. The student will be under direct supervision when making a repeat sonographic examination during 100% of clinical training. 4. The student will be under direct supervision when working in the Operating Room, Emergency Room (ED), and labor and delivery during 100% of clinical training unless (1) the student has been signed-off on that particular examination or procedure AND (2) prior approval has been granted by the Department’s Imaging Manager. 37
