Depends on your facility.... But generally if you have 9 mm, just document the 9 mm which in this case is negative

If you are wondering whether additional testing or evaluation is needed on the clinical end for some reason you haven't mentioned... that's a call to your doc. But if the correct standard for this patient's situation is 10 mm or 15 mm and you've got 9 mm - your result is negative, and public health doesn't require any report.

I called the health Department and client mentioned he had Tb before and was treated they’re saying this is considered a factor. ( he did tell the nurse that placed it) they had me fax them and may want him to be seen for a cxr. Only thing it’s my last day today and they’re giving me the run around and there’s no other nurse.
