3. Regarding exposure toionizing radiation, patients who areeducated to understand the
r r r r r r r r r r r
r medical benefit of an imaging procedure are more likely to
r r r r r r r r r
a. assume asmall chance ofbiologic damage butnot suppress anyradiation r r r r r r r r r r
r phobia they may have. r r r
b. cancel their scheduled procedure because they are notwilling to assume a
r r r r r r r r r r r
r small chance of biologic damage. r r r r
c. suppress anyradiation phobia butnot risk asmall chance ofpossible r r r r r r r r r r
r biologic damage. r
d. suppress anyradiation phobia and bewilling toassume asmall chance of r r r r r r r r r r r r
r possible biologic damage. r r

d. 1/10,000 of a sievert. r r r
ANS: C
5. The advantages ofthe BERT method are
r r r r r r
1. BERT doesnot imply radiation risk; it is simply ameans for comparison.
r r r r r r r r r r r r
2. BERT emphasizes that radiation is aninnate part ofthe environment.
r r r r r r r r r r r
3. BERT provides ananswer that is easyfor the patient tocomprehend.

6. Ifapatient asks aradiographer aquestion about how much radiation he orshe will
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
receive from a specific x-ray procedure, the radiographer can
r r r r r r r r r
a. respond byusing an estimation basedonthe comparison ofradiation received r r ff r r r r r r r
from the x-ray to natural background radiation received.
r r r r r r r r
b. avoid the patient’s question bychanging the subject. r r r r r r
c. tell the patient that it is unethical to discuss such concerns.
r r r r r r r r r r
d. refuse toanswer thequestion and recommend that heorshe speakwith r r r r r r r r r
the referring physician.
r r r
ANS: A r
7. Whyshould the selection oftechnical exposure factors for allmedical imaging
r r r r r r r r r r r
r procedures always follow ALARA? r r r
a. Sothat referring physicians ordering imaging procedures donot have
r r r r r r r r r
r to accept responsibility for patient radiation safety.
r r r r r r

r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
specific x-ray procedure difficult to answer?
r r r r r r
1. Because the received doseis specified in anumber ofdifferent units ofmeasure.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
2. Because the scientific units for radiation doseare normally not comprehensible bya
r r r r r r r r r r r
