The lab called me stating that a patient (that wasn't assigned to me) had a critical value of 2.9 potassium. I told the nurse (that was assigned to the patient) what the lab told me, and I carried on with my day, taking care of my patients. The next few days, the charge nurse asks me why I didn't call the doctor about the critical value. I say to myself, "What do you mean? I told the nurse what the lab told me..." Is it my responsibility to call the doctor (even though I told the assigned nurse what the lab told me) because the charge nurse is making me feel like it was my responsibility... =(
