RADR 1409 Exam 3 Review (100 Questions) – Vital Signs, Emergency Care, Medications & Trauma | 2026 – Radiologic Technology

This document contains a structured set of 100 exam-style questions with correct answers designed for RADR 1409 Exam 3, focusing on patient care, emergency procedures, and clinical fundamentals in radiography. It covers essential topics such as vital signs (temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure), oxygen administration methods, and patient assessment techniques including history-taking and symptom evaluation. The Q&A format supports efficient memorization and exam preparation while reinforcing clinically relevant knowledge. The material also provides in-depth coverage of pharmacology basics, including drug classifications, routes of administration (IV, IM, oral, subcutaneous), drug interactions, and emergency medications such as epinephrine and Narcan. Additionally, it explores IV therapy concepts like infusion, infiltration, and extravasation, along with proper documentation and the six rights of medication administration. Further, the document includes critical emergency and trauma care concepts such as triage, trauma center levels, shock types, stroke recognition, cardiac emergencies, and the use of emergency equipment like AEDs and crash carts. It also addresses neurological assessments (Glasgow Coma Scale), oxygen saturation monitoring, and conditions like syncope, vertigo, and fractures, making it a comprehensive clinical review resource. This material is ideal for students enrolled in Radiologic Technology, Diagnostic Medical Imaging, Nursing fundamentals, or Allied Health programs. It is particularly useful for courses such as RADR 1409 – Patient Care in Radiography, Clinical Procedures, or Emergency Patient Management offered at universities, community colleges, and healthcare training institutions. It is especially beneficial for first-year radiography students preparing for midterm or final clinical exams. The content aligns closely with standard textbooks such as Patient Care in Radiography: With an Introduction to Medical Imaging by Mary Alice Statkiewicz Sherer and Radiographic Imaging and Exposure by Terri L. Fauber, making it an excellent supplementary study guide for both theoretical understanding and clinical application.
