MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The use of x-rays to create a medical image on patients is referred to as
UV
a. electrocardiography.
b. radiography.
c. sonography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging.
IA_
ANS: B
Radiography is the making of records of internal structures of the body by passage of x-
rays or gamma rays through the body. These records or images are typically referred t
o a s radiographs. AP
REF: p. 4
2. Particular care must be taken when using radiation for medical imaging. This is the result
.
of radiation’s ability to create
PR in human tissue and possible biochemical changes
a. ionizations
b. radio waves
c. sound waves
d. thermal changes
OV
ANS: A ED
Some forms of electromagnetic energy, including x-
rays, have the ability to ionize atoms in matter. These ionizations have the ability to disru
pt the composition of matter and are capable of disrupting life processes. Special protect
i on should be provided to prevent excessive exposure to ionizing radiation.
?
REF: p. 3
3. In the diagnosis of patient disease states, physicians can select from an array of medical
diagnostic modalities. A few of these involve the use of ionizing energy to create a medi
cal image. If a physician is concerned about the use of ionizing radiation, he or she may
choose to order any of the following diagnostic modalities EXCEPT
a. thermograms.
b. medical sonography.
c. radiography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging.
ANS: C
Radiography involves the use of x-
rays for the production of medical images. Medical procedures such as thermograms, son
o grams, and magnetic resonance scans use nonionizing energy forms and consequently d
o not produce ionizations in human tissue. They are regarded as nonionizing modalities f
or i maging and offer excellent alternatives to physicians concerned about radiation expo
sure t o patients.
, REF: pp. 3-4
4. The Greek physician Hippocrates is regarded as the father of Western medicine. All of
ST t he following choices represent his medical beliefs EXCEPT the
a. use of high ethical standards of conduct.
b. important medical value of sorcery and witchcraft.
UVc. importance of closely monitoring a patient’s condition and recovery.
d. value of diet and exercise and allowing nature to take its course in recovery.
ANS: B
The Hippocratic Corpus is writings that they emphasize rational and natural explanations
IA_
f or the treatment of disease and reject sorcery and magic. The Hippocratic oath still gove
r ns the ethical conduct of physicians today.
REF: p. 5
AP
5. Throughout the history of medicine, remarkable achievements have been recorded. The
s e events have led to our current understanding of the human organism and disease. A
s this research continues, much of it will most likely focus on
PR
a. proper sanitation and public health.
b. immunology and the development of vaccines.
c. germ theory and infection.
d. human genes and genetic engineering.
ANS: D
OV
Although the Human Genome Project is finished, analyses of the data will continue for m
any years. The replacement of faulty genes through gene therapy offers promises of cure
s for a variety of hereditary diseases, and through genetic engineering, important pharma
ED
ceuticals continue to be developed. Medical research will continue to focus on the gene
ti c code in all cells.
REF: p. 6 ?
6. Wilhelm C. Roentgen’s discovery of ―the x-
ray‖ is regarded as one of medicine’s most significant achievements. Although his disco
very was accidental, his early research was so thorough that no significant findings have
been added to his original theories. This in itself is a true tribute to the brilliance of Ro
entgen as a scientist. One of the most famous early images he created was an x-
ray image of his
a. colon.
b. laboratory assistant’s foot.
c. wife’s hand.
d. kidneys.
ANS: C
November 8, 1895, is believed by historians to be the day that Roentgen created the famo
us image of the hand of his wife. Through his investigative methods, Roentgen identified
the properties of x-rays.
