RADIATION PROTECTION EXAM WITH
CORRECT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2023.
Which of the following increased radiation exposure for both the patient and the
radiographer? - Answer Repeated radiographic exposures as a result of technical error
orcarelessness
To implement an effective radiation safety program in a facility that provides imaging
services the employer must provide all of the following except: - Answer X ray
equipmentthat can produce only very low kilovoltage and very high milliamperage
Radiation has been present on earth since? - Answer It's beginning
Occupational and nonoccupational does will remain well below maximum allowable
levels when? - Answer Radiographers and radiologists keep exposure as low as
reasonably achievable
How can humans safely control the use of radiant energy? - Answer By 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: - Answer Reducing the potential for adverse effects
To reduce radiation exposure to the patient: - Answer Reduce the amount of x ray
beam on time, utilize as much distance as warranted between the x ray rube and the
patient forthe 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
theycan do much to alleviate any patient: - Answer Apprehension 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: - Answer informational posters placed
strategically throughout the health care facility, brochures that describe imaging
procedures in simple terms, basic information on a specific website designed for
patienteducation certain individuals radiologic procedures need to have patient dose
dictated into everyradiologic report. These procedures include: - Answer computed
tomography, general fluroscopy, and interventional procedures effective
radiation protection measures take into consideration: - Answer both humanand
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: - Answer elect to assume the relatively
small risk ofexposure to ionizing radiation to obtain essential diagnostic information
Any radiation exposure that does not benefit a person in terms of diagnostic
informationobtained for the clinical management of medical needs or that does not
enhance the quality of a radiologic examination is called? - Answer Unnecessary
radiation
The ALARA philosophy should : - Answer be a main part of every health care facility's
personnel radiation control program, be established and maintained because there are
noestablished does limits for the amount of radiation that patients may receive for
individual imaging procedures, show that radiographers and radiologists in a facility
haveconsidered reasonable actions that will reduce patient and personnel dose below
required limits
When an imaging procedure is justified in terms of medical necessity, diagnostic
efficacyis achieved when optimal quality images, revealing the presence or absence of
disease, are obtained with: - Answer minimal radiation exposure
