    About this ebook

    Co-published with the Association for Radiologic and Imaging Nursing and ANA
    This new edition contains up-to-date information on this exciting and dynamic specialty that combines cutting-edge technology with the art and science of nursing. It builds upon the previously published Radiology Nursing: Scope & Standards of Practice (2007) by incorporating the broader practice environment that nurses working in this specialty are encountering in their nursing practice. It guides and supports the imaging APN’s practice from assessment and diagnosis through treatment and evaluation, with emphasis on maintaining a safe environment.
    The 16 standards are those by which all RNs in radiologic and imaging nursing are held accountable for in their practice. Each standard is measurable by a set of specific competencies that serve as evidence of minimal compliance with that standard.
    Radiologic and Imaging Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice is a must-have title for radiologic and imaging nursing practitioners, educators, students, and other healthcare works directly involved in this area of practice.

      The American Nurses Association (ANA) and the Association for Radiologic and Imaging Nursing (ARIN) are national professional associations. This publication—Radiologic and Imaging Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice—reflects the thinking of the practice specialty of holistic nursing on various issues and should be reviewed in conjunction with state board of nursing policies and practices. State law, rules, and regulations govern the practice of nursing, while Radiologic and Imaging Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice guides radiologic and imaging nurses in the application of their professional skills and responsibilities.

      The Association for Radiologic and Imaging Nursing (ARIN) is the professional organization for nurses who practice in diagnostic, interventional, and therapeutic imaging environments. ARIN’s core purpose is to foster the growth of nurses who advance the standard of care in the imaging environment. ARIN strives to be at the forefront of change with a constant focus on improving patient safety and quality care and by supporting the innovative role of the nurse in the imaging environment.

      The American Nurses Association (ANA) is the only full-service professional organization representing the interests of the nation’s 3.1 million registered nurses through its constituent/state nurses associations and its organizational affiliates. The ANA advances the nursing profession by fostering high standards of nursing practice, promoting the rights of nurses in the workplace, projecting a positive and realistic view of nursing, and by lobbying the Congress and regulatory agencies on health care issues affecting nurses and the public.
