Question Title

* 1. True or False: As an ED attending, if you supervise advanced providers or residents, you should take time to review test orders and results. You should have clear supervision guidelines in place.

True

False

Question Title

* 2. LP is a relatively safe procedure, but minor and major complications can occur even when good technique is used. These include:

Post-LP headache

Infection

Bleeding

Hematoma

Cerebral herniation

Neurologic symptoms such as radicular pain or numbness

Back Pain

All the above

Question Title

* 3. True or False: When a patient has mental capacity, an informed consent discussion of the risks, benefits, and alternatives related to an invasive procedure needs to be documented in the patient’s medical record.

True

False

Question Title

* 4. We are unaware of any significant clinical studies that have systematically examined interventions to reduce the risk of bleeding following an LP based upon the degree of thrombocytopenia or clotting study abnormalities. Therefore:

It is not within the standard of care to perform an LP on patients with abnormal platelets or an elevated INR

The guidepost is “clinical judgement.” In all cases, the relative risk of the procedure must be weighed against the potential benefit. In cases where the LP is considered necessary, but the risk of bleeding is high, one should then determine the safest means possible to perform the procedure

Question Title

* 5. Why is supervision important?

You don't know what you don't know, until you know it

Sometimes two sets of eyes are better than one

It is important for patient safety

Liability varies according to state law, but in general, a supervising physician should consider all healthcare providers they supervise as extensions of themselves. Supervising physicians have an obligation to ensure patient care is within the standard of care when delegating care to others
