Radiologic technologists are not authorized to administer medications or initiate venipuncture on their own. They must have an order from a physician before administering medications. RN supervisors or radiologic technologist supervisors do not have the authority to order medications for patients. Therefore, the best choice is option 1, any physician, who can give the order for the medication to be administered.
