Viktor [21]

Anyone can notify the x-ray department that the chest x-ray must be done. It is important to delegate this tasks to a specific person.

Notifying the health care provider of the change in oxygen saturation is appropriate, but it would be expected that nursing judgment had taken place and the oxygen already was increased from 2 L/min.
