While there were no significant
differences in the responses of residents based on how far along they were in their training, the researchers were surprised to discover some significant
differences among supervising physicians, with senior attendings being more likely than junior attendings — who could be fellows or attendings in practice less than five years — to prefer
immediate notification
for situations including
patient falls, new or worsening pain, an angry parent or family member, or the need
for restraints.
