RTBC A+ FINAL COMPREHENSIVE EXAM: LATEST VERSION
ENGAGING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (100% ACCURATE)
The HIPAA Act created health care laws regarding what?
Patient right to access their health information
Health information privacy
Health information security
Annual effective dose limit for a radiographer?
50 mSv
Two half-value layers would result in a decrease in beam intensity by what
percent?
75%
Half-value layer is the thickness of the material required to reduce beam intensity by 1/2
One 1/2 value yarer would reduce beam intensity to 50%, another 1/2 layer would result
in beam intensity being reduced to 25% of original intensity --> beam intensity would be
reduced by 75%
Which characteristics describes the x-ray beam used in diagnostic radiography?
Polyenergetic
Heterogenous
Jones fracture is associated with which of the following bony structures?
Tuberosity of the fifth metatarsal
Incubation stage of infection refers to the
Period of initial contact prior to the appearance of signs or symptoms
Prodromal period - pt begins to experience vague/general signs and symptoms as
microorganism multiplies
Period of illness - signs and symptoms such as headache or sinus congestion
Convalescent period - time of recovery
, Which would provide fluoroscopic imaging personnel with the best radiation
protection opportunity?
Controlling the fluoroscopic system remotely
As photon energy decreases, the probability of a photoelectric absorption
interaction will
Increase
Lower photons have less penetrating power and a higher likelihood of being absorbed
by the tissue they interact with
The process of liberating electrons from a heated filament is known as
Thermionic emission
When performing a HSG, contrast is injected into the uterus and
Fills the uterine tubes and spills into the peritoneum
The primary barriers in an x-ray room must have a thickness of
1/16" (1.6 mm) lead equivalent
A patient has the right to review his or her medical records and access
information to ensure everything is correct and complete under the document
created by which hospital affiliation?
American Hospital Association
AHA
Which measurement is constant within a parallel circuit?
Volts
Which exposure technique system uses the rule to double or halve mAs for every
5 centimeters of subject thickness?
Fixed kVp
The interspace between the first and second sacral vertebrae (S1/S2) is located at
the level of the
ASIS
Minimum requirement for the evaluation of holes and cracks of shielding
accessories?
Annually
