Is that not malpractice of the "nurse" doing procedures out of her field of practice?
[from the article...The plaintiff, a Worcester resident who was kept anonymous in the suit, alleged that the nurse who performed her ultrasound scan at the center “did not undertake sufficient medical measures” to ensure the pregnancy was viable...] How did a Radiologist not read the study?

OB/Gynie Ultrasound is a specialist area.

The above quote is from the article.
