Version| Answers With Detailed Explanations
Which of the following increased radiation exposure for both the patient and the
radiographer? - ANSWERRepeated radiographic exposures as a result of technical
error or carelessness
To implement an effective radiation safety program in a facility that provides imaging
services the employer must provide all of the following except: - ANSWERX ray
equipment that can produce only very low kilovoltage and very high milliamperage
Radiation has been present on earth since? - ANSWERIt's beginning
Occupational and nonoccupational does will remain well below maximum allowable
levels when? - ANSWERRadiographers and radiologists keep exposure as low as
reasonably achievable
How can humans safely control the use of radiant energy? - ANSWERBy using
knowledge of radiation induced hazards that have been gained over many years & by
employing effective methods to limit or eliminate radiation induced hazards
In medicine, when radiation safety principles are correctly applied during imagine
procedures, the energy deposited in living tissue by the radiation can be limited. This
results in: - ANSWERReducing the potential for adverse effects
To reduce radiation exposure to the patient: - ANSWERReduce the amount of x ray
beam on time, utilize as much distance as warranted between the x ray rube and the
patient for the examination, and shield the patient with appropriate gonadal and or
specific area shielding devices
During a routine radiologic examination, when radiographers use their intelligence
and knowledge to answer patient questions about the risk of radiation exposure
honestly they can do much to alleviate any patient: - ANSWERApprehension and
fears
During phase one of the TRACE program, after new and more definitive radiation
safety policies and procedures have been written some ways of providing patient
and community education are through the use of: - ANSWERinformational posters
placed strategically throughout the health care facility, brochures that describe
imaging procedures in simple terms, basic information on a specific website
designed for patient education
, certain individuals radiologic procedures need to have patient dose dictated into
every radiologic report. These procedures include: - ANSWERcomputed tomography,
general fluroscopy, and interventional procedures
effective radiation protection measures take into consideration: - ANSWERboth
human and environmental physical determinants, technical elements, procedural
factors
when illness or injury occurs or when a specific imaging procedure for health
screening purposes is prudent, a patient may: - ANSWERelect to assume the
relatively small risk of exposure to ionizing radiation to obtain essential diagnostic
information
Any radiation exposure that does not benefit a person in terms of diagnostic
information obtained for the clinical management of medical needs or that does not
enhance the quality of a radiologic examination is called? - ANSWERUnnecessary
radiation
The ALARA philosophy should : - ANSWERbe a main part of every health care
facility's personnel radiation control program, be established and maintained
because there are no established does limits for the amount of radiation that
patients may receive for individual imaging procedures, show that radiographers and
radiologists in a facility have considered reasonable actions that will reduce patient
and personnel dose below required limits
When an imaging procedure is justified in terms of medical necessity, diagnostic
efficacy is achieved when optimal quality images, revealing the presence or absence
of disease, are obtained with: - ANSWERminimal radiation exposure
When radiation is safely and prudently used in the imagining of patients, the benefit
of the exposure can be___, while the potential risk of biologic damage is ______? -
ANSWERMaximized, minimized
Which of the following basic principles of radiation protection can be applied to both
the patient and the radiographer? - ANSWERDistance and shielding
For the welfare of patients and the workers, facilities providing imaging services
must have: - ANSWERAn effective radiation safety program
Which of the following recommended the use of back ground equivalent radiation
time for improving patient understanding and reducing fear and anxiety associated
with having an x ray procedure? - ANSWERNuclear regulatory commission
BERT is a: - ANSWERmethod of comparison
The end result of the TRACE program is? - ANSWERA reduction in patient dose
