multiple choice
1. the legal doctrine res ipsa locquitur means which of the following?
(a) let the master answer.
(b) the thing speaks for itself.
(c) a thing or matter settled by justice.
(d) a matter settled by precedent.
Ans>> b
the legal doctrine res ipsa locquitur relates to a thing or matter that speaks for itself.
• for instance, if a patient went into the hospital to have a kidney stone removed and
ended up with an appendectomy, that speaks for itself, and negligence can be proven.
respondeat superior is the phase meaning "let the master answer" or "the one ruling is
responsible."
• if a radiographer was negligent, there may be an attempt to prove that the
radiologist was responsible, because the radiologist oversees the radiographer.
res judicata means a thing or matter settled by justice. stare decisis refers to a matter
settled by precedent.
(gurley & callaway, p 194)
2. when reviewing patient blood chemistry levels, what is considered the normal
creatinine
range?
(a) 0.6 to 1.5 mg/100 ml
(b) 4.5 to 6 mg/100 ml
(c) 8 to 25 mg/100 ml
(d) up to 50 mg/100 ml
Ans>> a
, creatinine is a normal alkaline constituent of urine and blood, but increased quantities of
creatinine are present in advanced stages of renal disease.
creatinine and bun blood chemistry levels should be checked prior to beginning an
intravenous pyelogram. increased levels may forecast an increased possibility of contrast-
media induced renal effects and poor visualization of the renal collecting systems.
o the normal creatinine range is 0.6 to 1.5 mg/100 ml.
o the normal bun range is 8 to 25 mg/100 ml.
(ballinger & frank, vol 2, p 126)
3. the condition of slow heart rate, below 60 beats per minute (bpm), is termed
(a) hyperthermia.
(b) hypotension.
(c) hypoxia.
(d) bradycardia.
Ans>> d
the condition in which a patient's heart rate slows to below 60 bpm is bradycardia.
hyperthermia is the condition in which the patient's temperature is well above the normal
average range (97.7 to 99.5ºf).
hypotension occurs if the blood pressure drops below thenormal ranges (110 to 140/60
to 90 mmhg).
hypoxia is a condition in which there is decreased oxygen supply to body tissues.
(adler & carlton, p 181)
4. during a grand mal seizure, the patient should be
(a) protected from injury.
(b) placed in a semiupright position to prevent aspiration of vomitus.
(c) allowed to thrash freely.
(d) given a sedative to reduce jerky body movements and reduce the possibility of
injury.
Ans>> a
