Within what time frame should diagnostic test results be placed into the health record?

Immediately
Within 1 week
Within 2 weeks
Within 3 weeks

The correct answer is: Within 2 weeks

Diagnostic test results should be placed into the health record within 2 weeks. It is important to do so within a reasonable timeframe to ensure that the results are included in the patient's record and can be utilized by healthcare providers for current and future treatments. Option A, immediately, may not always be feasible as it may take time for the results to be processed and reviewed. Options B and D are not ideal as waiting for 1 or 3 weeks respectively may delay patient care and treatment. Therefore, option C, within 2 weeks, strikes a balance between timely inclusion and accuracy of the results.
