Is it within an RN's scope of practice to operating a C-Arm with a doctor's order and with the doctor being in the OR. Some of our doctors do use the pedal to operate the C-Arm, so the nurse is just positioning it. We do have a few doctors that request the nurse to actually take the picture. There is a lot of concern within the nursing staff that this is out of our scope of practice. We need some feedback on the subject and an avenue for documentation to support us. Thanks for you help!
