RAD 112-PROCEDURES FINAL QUESTIONS
Radiography
production of captured shadow images on photographic film through the action of
ionizing radiation passing through the body from an external source
Radiographer
A radiologist technologist who administers ionizing radiation to perform radiographic
procedures
ALARA
A fundamental responsibility of the radiographer is to ensure that each radiation
exposure is " as low as reasonably achievable"
ARRT
The American Registry of Radiologic Technicians created and maintains the Standards
Of Ethics that apply to all radiologic technologist who are certified by organization
ASRT
The Radiography Practice Standards are written and maintained by the American
Society of Radiologic Technologists. They define the practice of radiography, describe
necessary education and certification, and include the Radiographer scope of practice.
after each patient procedure
How often should the radiologic table be cleaned?
-perform hand hygiene
-use PPE when exposed to disease
-handle textiles and laundry carefully
How do members of the RAD technology profession help to control pathogen
communication?
under
when using a free IR to perform an examination on an isolation patient, the IR should be
placed ______________ the sheet
disposable gloves
What protective apparel should radiographers wear if the possibility of touching blood
exits?
placed in puncture proof container and properly discarded
,What procedure should be followed to dispose of used hypodermic needles properly?
false
true or false. When performing an examination in the operating room (OR), position the
C-arm next to the operating table on the same side as the surgeon
give an explanation of procedure to be informed
Before beginning a radiographic examination what should the radiographer do to gain
cooperation a coherent patient?
4
What is the minimum number of personnel that should be used to transfer a helpless
patient from a gurney to the radiographic table?
1) limited diet
2) laxatives
3) enemas
List the three ways a patient's colon may be cleansed for an abdominal examination.
false (starch is radiopaque)
True or false. If washable gowns are used, they should be starched; starch is
radiolucent, which means it can be penetrated easily by x-rays.
to prevent confusing shadows
Why is it necessary to ensure that any folds in cloth gowns are straightened out before
making the radiographic exposure?
dentures, removable bridgework, earrings, necklaces, hairpins, and eyeglasses
What devices must be removed from the patient within the area of interest when the
skull is examined?
1: smooth-involuntary
2: cardiac-involuntary
3: striated-voluntary
Identify the three types of muscular tissue and state the type of motion (voluntary or
involuntary) associated with each.
Peristalsis
the rhythmic motion of smooth muscle structures is called _______________.
less exposure time
What exposure factor is used to control involuntary motion?
,central nervous system
What body system controls the movement of voluntary muscles?
-apply immobilization
-give clear instructions
-adjust support devices
-increase exposure time
What ways can voluntary motion be controlled by a radiographer?
true
true or false. Most exams require the patient to hold their breath at some phase of
respiration, such as the end of inhalation or exhalation
A device that receives the energy of the x-ray beam and forms the image of the body
part
Define image receptor
-cassette with film
-photostimulable storagephosopher image plate (PSPIP)
-solid state digital detector
-Fluoroscopic IR

-SID
-kVp
-dose
