X-ray Fundamentals and Imaging,
Positioning Exam 1 Radiologic
Physics
1. incidents: steps taken by the radiographer when performing an
examination of a patient
2. List the 5 general steps of performing a x-ray examine: 1.
Introduce yourself
2. Instruct the patient how to dress
3. Take the patient to examine room
4. Obtain a history
5. Explain the examination
6. Intro/mention Radiologist
7. Perform Examine
8. Release patient
3. short-term memory: transient, fleeting memory that fades
rapidly
4. Passive Participation: listener or observer in a situation who is
not physically participating or contributing in any way
Student is observing
, 5. psychomotor learning: muscular action or practical execution
of previously learned material that is believed to come from a
conscious mental activity
*is the actual hands-on phase, applying the previously learned
material
*didactic info is put to actual use in clinical situation
6. elder abuse: mistreatment of older persons; it may be a
physical, psychological, or financial, form of neglect
*Elderly must sign a patient consent form to legally report abuse
7. Fainting: partial or complete loss of consciousness caused by
a temporary reduction in the supply of blood to the brain
sudden fall of blood pressure with loss of consciousness
8. shock: ; also called hypoperfusion
profound depression of the vital functions with reduced blood
volume, and pressure, caused by injuries
9. seizure: are attacks such as convulsions or sudden onset of
disease
10. cardiac arrest: complete stopping of heart activity is a state
of complete cessation of hearts action
11. convulsion: violent, involuntary muscular contractions of
spams
