ANS: k A
3. Regarding exposure k to kionizing k radiation, k patients k who k are keducated k to
k
k understand k thekmedicalbenefit kof k an k imaging k procedure k are k more k likely k to
a. assume ka ksmall kchance kof kbiologic kdamage kbut knot ksuppress kany
kradiationkphobiathey k may k have.
b. cancel k their k scheduled k procedure k because k they k are k not k willing k to
k assume k aksmallichance k of k biologic k damage.
c. suppress kany kradiation kphobia k but knot krisk ka ksmall kchance kof
kpossiblekbiologicdamage.
d. suppress k any k radiation k phobia k and k be kwilling k to kassume k a ksmall
kchance k ofkpossiblebiologic k damage.

d. 1/10,000 kof k a ksievert.
ANS: k C
5. The k advantages kof kthe k BERT k method k are
1. BERT k does knot k imply kradiation k risk; k it k is k simply k a kmeans k for k comparison.
2. BERT k emphasizes that k radiation k is k an kinnate k part k of kthe k environment.
3. BERT kprovides k an kanswer k that k is k easy k for k the k patient k to kcomprehend.

6. If ka kpatient kasks ka kradiographer ka kquestion kabout khow kmuch kradiation k he kor
kshe kwillkreceivefrom k a k specific k x-ray k procedure, k the k radiographer k can
a. respond kby kusing kan kestimation kbased kon kthe kcomparison kof kradiation
kreceivedkfromthe k x-ray k to k natural k background k radiation k received.
b. avoid k the kpatient’s k question k by kchanging k the k subject.
c. tell k the k patient k that k it k is k unethical k to kdiscuss k such kconcerns.
d. refuse kto kanswer k the k question k and k recommend k that k he k or kshe
k speak kwithkthereferring k physician.
ANS: k A
7. Why k should kthe kselection kof ktechnical kexposure k factors kfor kall k medical
k imagingkproceduresalways k follow k ALARA?
a. So kthat kreferring kphysicians k ordering k imaging kprocedures k do k not
k have ktokacceptresponsibility k for k patient k radiation k safety.
b. So kthat k radiographers k and k radiologists do knot k have
k to k accept k responsibility for
, patient k radiation k safety.
c. Because k radiation-iinduced kcancer k does knot k appear kto khave k a k fixed
k threshold, kthat k is,ia k dose k level k below k which k a k person k would k have k no
k chance k of k developing kthis k disease.

kwhichkindividualswould k have k a k chance k of kdeveloping k this
k disease.
ANS: k C

ANS: k C
10. Why k is k a kquestion kconcerning kthe k amount k of kradiation ka kpatient k will k receive
k during kakspecificx-ray k procedure k difficult k to k answer?
1. Because k the k received kdose kis k specified k in k a knumber k of kdifferent k units k of
kmeasure.
2. Because k the k scientific k units k for k radiation k dose kare k normally k not
k comprehensible by
kakpatient.
3. Because k the k patient k should k not kreceive k any kinformation k about k radiation k dose.
