Chapter 01: Introduction to Radiation Protection

Sherer: Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography, 9th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE:

1.Consequences of ionization in human cells include

1.creation of unstable atoms.

2.production of free electrons.

3.creation of highly reactive free molecules (called 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.

6.production of low-energy x-ray photons.

a.1, 2, 3, and 4 only

b.2, 3, 4, and 5 only

c.3, 4, 5, and 6 only

d.All the options

ANS: D

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

ANS: A

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.

ANS: D

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.

ANS: C

5. The advantages of the BERT method are

1. BERT does not imply radiation risk; it is simply a means for comparison.
2. BERT emphasizes that radiation is an innate part of the environment.
3. BERT 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. All the options

ANS: D

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.

ANS: A

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 radiation safety.
c. Because radiation-induced cancer does not appear to have a fixed threshold, that is, a dose
level below which a person 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.

ANS: C

8. The cardinal principles of radiation protection include which of the following?

a. Time
b. Distance
c. Shielding
d. All the options

ANS: D

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?

a. Assistant administrator of the facility
b. Chief of staff
c. Radiation Safety Officer
d. Student radiologic technologist

ANS: C

10. Why is a question concerning the amount of radiation a patient will receive during a specific
x-ray procedure difficult to answer?

1. Because the received dose is specified in a number of different units of measure.
