Chapter 1: Introduction to Radiation Protection
Sherer: Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography, 9th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Consequences of ionization in human cells include
1. creation of unstable atoms.
2. production of free electrons.
3. creation of highly reactive free molecules (called free radicals) capable
of producing substances poisonous to the cell.
4. creation of new biologic molecules detrimental to the living cell.
5. injury to the cell that may manifest itself as abnormal function or loss
of function.
6. production of low-energy x-ray photons.
a. 1,2, 3, and 4 only
b. 2,3, 4, and 5 only
c. 3,4, 5, and 6 only
d. All the options
ANS: D
2. Which of the following is a form of radiation that is capable of creating
electrically charged particles by removing orbital electrons from the atom of
normal matter through which it passes?
a. Ionizing radiation
b. Nonionizing radiation
c. Subatomic radiation
d. Ultrasonic radiation
ANS: A
3. Regarding exposure to ionizing radiation, patients who are educated to
understand the medical benefit of an imaging procedure are more likely to
a. assume a small chance of biologic damage but not suppress any radiation
phobia they may have.
, Test Bank for Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography 9th Edition by Sherer, Visconti and Ritenour
b. cancel their scheduled procedure because they are not willing to assume a
small chance of biologic damage.
c. suppress any radiation phobia but not risk a small chance of possible
biologic damage.
d. suppress any radiation phobia and be willing to assume a small chance of
possible biologic damage.
ANS: D
4. The millisievert (mSv) is equal to
a. 1/10 of a sievert.
b. 1/100 of a sievert.
c. 1/1000 of a sievert.
d. 1/10,000 of a sievert.
ANS: C
5. The advantages of the BERT method are
1. BERT does not imply radiation risk; it is simply a means for comparison.
2. BERT emphasizes that radiation is an innate part of the environment.
3. BERT provides an answer that is easy for the patient to comprehend.
a. 1and 2 only
b. 1and 3 only
c. 2and 3 only
d. All the options
ANS: D
6. If a patient asks a radiographer a question about how much radiation he or
she will receive from a specific x-ray procedure, the radiographer can
a. respond by using an estimation based on the comparison of radiation
received from the x-ray to natural background radiation received.
b. avoid the patient’s question by changing the subject.
c. tell the patient that it is unethical to discuss such concerns.
d. refuse to answer the question and recommend that he or she speak with the
referring physician.
ANS: A
