1. Consequences of ionization in human cells
include .?
1. creation of unstable atoms.
2. production of free electrons.
3. creation of highly reactive free radicals capable of producing
substances poisonous to the cell.
4. creation of new biologic molecules detrimental to the living cell.
5. injury to the cell that may manifest itself as abnormal
function or loss of function. - -ANSWER--1, 2, 3, 4, & 5
2. Which of the following is a form of radiation that is capable of
creating electrically charged particles by removing orbital
electrons from the atom of normal matter through which it
passes?
a. Ionizing radiation
b. Nonionizing radiation
c. Subatomic radiation
d. Ultrasonic radiation - -ANSWER--a. Ionizing Radiation
3. Regarding exposure to ionizing radiation, patients who are
educated to understand the medical benefit of an imaging
procedure are more likely to...
a. assume a small chance of biologic damage but not
suppress any radiation phobia they may have.
b. cancel their scheduled procedure because they are not
willing to assume a small chance of biologic damage.
c. suppress any radiation phobia but not risk a small chance
of possible biologic
damage.

d. suppress any radiation phobia and be willing to assume a
small chance of possible
biologic damage. - -ANSWER--D. Suppress any radiation phobia
and be willing to assume a small chance of possible biologic
damage.
4. The millisievert (mSv) is
equal to a. 1/10 of a sievert.
b. 1/100 of a sievert.
c. 1/1000 of a sievert.
d. 1/10,000 of a sievert. - -ANSWER--C. 1/1000 of a sievert
5. The advantages of the BERT method are
1. it does not imply radiation risk; it is simply a means for
comparison.
2. it emphasizes that radiation is an innate part of our
environment.
3. it provides an answer that is easy for the patient to
comprehend.
a. 1 and 2 only
b. 1 and 3 only
c. 2 and 3 only
d. 1, 2, and 3 - -ANSWER--D. 1, 2, & 3
6. If a patient asks a radiographer a question about how much
radiation he or she will receive from a specific x-ray
procedure, the radiographer can
a. respond by using an estimation based on the comparison of
radiation received from the x-ray to natural background
radiation received. b. avoid the patient's question by changing
the subject.

c. tell the patient that it is unethical to discuss such concerns.
d. refuse to answer the question and recommend that he or she
speak with the referring physician. - -ANSWER--A. Respond by
using an estimation based on the comparison of radiation
received.
7. Why should the selection of technical exposure factors for all
medical imaging procedures always follow ALARA?
a. So that referring physicians ordering imaging procedures do
not have to accept responsibility for patient radiation safety.
b. So that radiographers and radiologists do not have to accept
responsibility for patient radiation safety.
c. Because radiation-induced cancer does not appear to have
a dose level below which individuals would have no chance of
developing this disease.
d. Because radiation-induced cancer does have a dose level at
which individuals would have a chance of developing this
disease. - -ANSWER--C. Because radiation-induced cancer does
not appear to have a dose level below which individuals would
have no chance of developing this disease.
8. What are the cardinal principles of radiation protection? - -
ANSWER—
Time
Distance

9. In a hospital setting, which of the following professionals is
expressly charged by the hospital administration with being
directly responsible for the execution, enforcement, and
maintenance of the ALARA program?
