NOMAD PRO 2 QUIZ 2 EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED A.
At then end of the day or when the NOMAD Pro 2 is not in service, it is advisable to
ensure that the device is securely stored and in a locked cabinet. For an
additional level of security which of the following should be stored separately
from the main unit?
The handset power source
When the Nomad Pro 2 is in the operatory the unit controls should be set to _____
to avoid accidental exposures. This is accomplished by pressing the Select then
Patient buttons.
X-rays Locked
A partial exposure occurs when the trigger is not depressed for length of the timed
exposure setting and is indicated by a series of beeps and a screen message
"INCOMPLETE." To reset the unit the following is done.
Press any button OR turn the unit off OR wait 20 seconds
When the battery charge is too low to produce x-rays a display message
"RECHARGE HANDSET" appears accompanied by ____ audible tones. What other
unit display also indicates insufficient handset charge?
5 audible tones/ Battery level icon
If left unused NOMAD Pro 2 will automatically shut down after approximately
______________ minute(s)
3 minutes
Battery charge may be lost during extended inactivity leading
to fewer exposures between handset charging. A fully charged handset should
yield approximately _______ exposures.
300
, In order to maintain the optimal operator safety zone the backscatter shield
should be:
Parallel to the operator, Positioned to the outer edge of the cone, & As close to the
patient as possible
When used correctly, the Nomad's primary and backscatter shielding provides
operator protection that falls well below federal regulatory limits. The annual
Federal limit for an operator of x-ray equipment is ____mSv.
500 mSv
Which of the following is true regarding exposure charts and settings for the
Nomad
Pro 2:
-Is legally required by the North Carolina Division of Radiation Protection and must
be posted.
-Will be affected by factors such as, projection, film speed, sensor type and patient
size.
-Can be customized and programmed by the operator into the NOMAD Pro.
Radiation safety is at the heart of the NOMAD Pro 2 design. All listed components
of radiation safety are inherent to the NOMAD Pro 2 except one:
Radiographic exam appropriate for diagnosis and treatment of the patient being
exposed
(this is not inherent to the Nomad Pro 2, it is a basis of all radiographic exam
equipment)
The operator safety zone is compromised when:
-The unit is not perpendicular to the operator
- The backscatter shield is positioned to the outer edge of the cone
- The backscatter shield is parallel with the operator
How do you minimize the chances of "cone-cutting"?
