If you were to see something alarming during a scan, how would you react in front of the patient who most likely has not noticed?

"I know that part of my job is to keep the patient at ease, and this would mean not adversely reacting if I found something serious in a scan. I wouldn't hesitate to let the patient know the next steps and calmly talk them through what the scan revealed. It would also be important to let them know that further testing is required to confirm any thoughts my team had about their scan."

An appropriate response to this scenario would be to not react. Depending on the situation, you need to stress that you wouldn't react negatively in front of a patient until the results can be confirmed. Make sure you have a clear understanding of what is within your rights to explain to patients, and then discuss how you would talk about the next steps. This could include ordering labs or conducting further tests.
