MULTIPLE
kCHOICE


1. Consequences kof kionization k in k human k cells k include
1. creation k of kunstable k atoms.
2. production k of kfree k electrons.
3. creation kof khighly kreactive kfree kmolecules k(called kfree kradicals)
kcapable kofkproducingsubstances k poisonous k to k the k cell.
4. creation k of knew kbiologic k molecules k detrimental k to kthe kliving k cell.
5. injury kto kthe k cell k that k may k manifest k itself k as kabnormal k function k or kloss k of
kfunction.
6. production k of klow-energy k x-ray kphotons.
a. 1, k2, k3, k and k 4 k only
b. 2, k3, k4, k and k 5 k only
c. 3, k4, k5, k and k 6 k only
d. All k the k options
ANS: k D

,2. Which k of kthe k following kis k a kform k of kradiation kthat k is k capable k of kcreating
kelectrically kchargedp
i k karticles k by k removing k orbital k electrons k from k the k atom k of
k normal k matter k through kwhich k it k passes?
a. Ionizing k radiation
b. Nonionizing k radiation
c. Subatomic k radiation
d. Ultrasonic k radiation
ANS: k A

3. Regarding exposure k to kionizing k radiation, k patients k who k are keducated k to
k
k understand k thekmedicalbenefit kof k an k imaging k procedure k are k more k likely k to
a. assume ka ksmall kchance kof kbiologic kdamage kbut knot ksuppress kany
kradiationkphobiathey k may k have.
b. cancel k their k scheduled k procedure k because k they k are k not k willing k to
k assume k aksmallichance k of k biologic k damage.
c. suppress kany kradiation kphobia k but knot krisk ka ksmall kchance kof
kpossiblekbiologicdamage.
d. suppress k any k radiation k phobia k and k be kwilling k to kassume k a ksmall
kchance k ofkpossiblebiologic k damage.

ANS: k D

4. The k millisievert k (mSv) k is kequal k to
a. 1/10 kof k a ksievert.
b. 1/100 kof k a ksievert.
c. 1/1000 kof k a ksievert.
d. 1/10,000 kof k a ksievert.
ANS: k C


5. The k advantages kof kthe k BERT k method k are
1. BERT k does knot k imply kradiation k risk; k it k is k simply k a kmeans k for k comparison.
2. BERT k emphasizes that k radiation k is k an kinnate k part k of kthe k environment.
3. BERT kprovides k an kanswer k that k is k easy k for k the k patient k to kcomprehend.
a. 1 kand k 2 konly
b. 1 kand k 3 konly
c. 2 kand k 3 konly
d. All k the k options
ANS: k D

6. If ka kpatient kasks ka kradiographer ka kquestion kabout khow kmuch kradiation k he kor
kshe kwillkreceivefrom k a k specific k x-ray k procedure, k the k radiographer k can
a. respond kby kusing kan kestimation kbased kon kthe kcomparison kof kradiation
kreceivedkfromthe k x-ray k to k natural k background k radiation k received.
b. avoid k the kpatient’s k question k by kchanging k the k subject.
c. tell k the k patient k that k it k is k unethical k to kdiscuss k such kconcerns.
d. refuse kto kanswer k the k question k and k recommend k that k he k or kshe
k speak kwithkthereferring k physician.

ANS: k A

7. Why k should kthe kselection kof ktechnical kexposure k factors kfor kall k medical
k imagingkproceduresalways k follow k ALARA?
a. So kthat kreferring kphysicians k ordering k imaging kprocedures k do k not
k have ktokacceptresponsibility k for k patient k radiation k safety.
b. So kthat k radiographers k and k radiologists do knot k have
k to k accept k responsibility for

, patient k radiation k safety.
c. Because k radiation-iinduced kcancer k does knot k appear kto khave k a k fixed
k threshold, kthat k is,ia k dose k level k below k which k a k person k would k have k no
k chance k of k developing kthis k disease.
d. Because kradiation-iinduced kcancer kdoes khave ka k dose k level kat
kwhichkindividualswould k have k a k chance k of kdeveloping k this
k disease.

ANS: k C

8. The k cardinal k principles k of kradiation k protection k include k which k of kthe kfollowing?
a. Time
b. Distance
c. Shielding
d. All k the k options
ANS: k D

9. In ka khospital ksetting, kwhich kof kthe kfollowing kprofessionals k is kexpressly kcharged kby kthe
khospitaladministration k with k being k directly k responsible k for k the k execution,
k enforcement, k andkmaintenance k of k the k ALARA k program?
a. Assistant kadministrator k of kthe k facility
b. Chief k of k staff
c. Radiation k Safety k Officer
d. Student kradiologic k technologist
ANS: k C

10. Why k is k a kquestion kconcerning kthe k amount k of kradiation ka kpatient k will k receive
k during kakspecificx-ray k procedure k difficult k to k answer?
1. Because k the k received kdose kis k specified k in k a knumber k of kdifferent k units k of
kmeasure.
2. Because k the k scientific k units k for k radiation k dose kare k normally k not
k comprehensible by
kakpatient.
3. Because k the k patient k should k not kreceive k any kinformation k about k radiation k dose.
