RAD ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS PROVED.
⚫While working as a radiographer, you design a unique receptor holder to use during
portable procedures that clearly reduces the exposure of others, by lessening the need to
hold patients or image receptors. The development of this imaging device shows that you
are functioning at what level of learning?
A.) Psychomotor
B.) Synthesis
C.) Affective
D.) Cognitive. Answer: B.) Synthesis
⚫Which of the following situations would require critical analysis thinking skills?1. A patient
asking for breathing instructions during a chest examination2. A physician asking you to call
his office to connect with his/her nurse3. Improvising the angulation of the X-ray tube to
compensate for a patient condition4. Your supervisor asking you to help establish target
exposure values for the department5. Repositioning a patient after assessing the patient's
previous images6. Providing a gown to a patient with instructions on putting it on correctly7.
Modifying exposure factors after reviewing the patient's history
A.) 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 only
B.) 1 and 2 only
C.) 3, 4, 5, and 7 only
D.) 1, 2, and 6 only. Answer: C.) 3, 4, 5, and 7 only
⚫When a patient hand-off occurs, the principle of _________ is recommended.
A.) SBAR
B.) TeamSTEPPS
C.) HIPAA compliance
D.) ALARA. Answer: A.) SBAR
, ⚫At a specific time in the student-patient interaction, the student may be permitted to
position a patient and provide for their general care in order to perform the procedure. At
this specific point in the student's clinical experience, they are considered to be
A.) at the observation phase of clinical competency.
B.) clinically competent in all phases and requiring no degree of supervision.
C.) performing at the assistance level of clinical progression.
D.) testing out to complete a clinical competency.. Answer: C.) performing at the assistance
level of clinical progression.
⚫A radiography program's effectiveness is measured through a variety of benchmarks. One
of these deals specifically with
A.) student attendance and punctuality.
B.) clinical evaluations of student performance by clinical staff.
C.) learning outcomes.
D.) feedback from radiologists as to students competency.. Answer: C.) learning outcomes.
⚫Clear wording of an observable behaviors demonstrated by a student, that can be
measured and with the conditions of acceptable performance outlined, are referred to as
A.) assessments.
B.) objectives.
C.) learning outcomes.
D.) competencies.. Answer: B.) objectives.
⚫At a recent radiology department meeting, the director discussed an incident that
occurred a few days earlier involving a patient within medical imaging. In his description, the
director revealed that this patient had an incorrect ultrasound examination performed.
Investigation into the situation showed that a receptionist told the patient to wait in the
wrong holding area before the examination. The sonographer assumed that the patient was
in the correct location and performed the wrong examination. To prevent this type of event
from occurring in the future, what type of analysis needs to be undertaken by the
department?
A.) Task Analysis Inventory
