MULTIPLE CHOICE x




1. The use of x-rays to create a medical image on patients is referred to as
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


a. electrocardiography.
b. radiography.
c. sonography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging. x x




ANS: B
Radiography is the making of records of internal structures of the body by passage of x-
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


rays or gamma rays through the body. These records or images are typically
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


referred t o a s radiographs.

2. Particular care must be taken when using radiation for medical imaging. This is the result
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


of radiation’s ability to create
x x x x x


in human tissue and possible biochemical changes x x x x x x


.
a. ionizations
b. radio waves x


c. sound waves x


d. thermal changes x




ANS: A
Some forms of electromagnetic energy, including x-
x x x x x x


rays, have the ability to ionize atoms in matter. These ionizations have the ability to disru
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


pt the composition of matter and are capable of disrupting life processes. Special

3. In the diagnosis of patient disease states, physicians can select from an array of medical
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


diagnostic modalities. A few of these involve the use of ionizing energy to create a medi
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


cal image. If a physician is concerned about the use of ionizing radiation, he or she may
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


choose to order any of the following diagnostic modalities EXCEPT
x x x x x x x x x x


a. thermograms.
b. medical sonography. x


c. radiography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging. x x




ANS: C
Radiography involves the use of x- x x x x x


rays for the production of medical images. Medical procedures such as thermograms, son
x x x x x x x x x x x x


o grams, and magnetic resonance scans use nonionizing energy forms and consequently d
x x x x x x x x x x x x


o not produce ionizations in human tissue. They are regarded as nonionizing modalities f
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


or i maging and offer excellent alternatives to physicians concerned about radiation expo
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


sure t o patients.

4. The Greek physician Hippocrates is regarded as the father of Western medicine. All of
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


x t he following choices represent his medical beliefs EXCEPT the
x x x x x x x x x


a. use of high ethical standards of conduct.
x x x x x x


b. important medical value of sorcery and witchcraft. x x x x x x


c. importance of closely monitoring a patient’s condition and recovery. x x x x x x x x


d. value of diet and exercise and allowing nature to take its course in recovery.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x




ANS: B
The Hippocratic Corpus is writings that they emphasize rational and natural
x x x x x x x x x x


explanations f or the treatment of disease and reject sorcery and magic. The Hippocratic
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


oath still gove r ns the ethical conduct of physicians today.

5. Throughout the history of medicine, remarkable achievements have been recorded. The
x x x x x x x x x x


xs e events have led to our current understanding of the human organism and disease. A
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


x s this research continues, much of it will most likely focus on
x x x x x x x x x x x


a. proper sanitation and public health. x x x x


b. immunology and the development of vaccines. x x x x x


c. germ theory and infection. x x x


d. human genes and genetic engineering. x x x x




ANS: D
Although the Human Genome Project is finished, analyses of the data will continue for m
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


any years. The replacement of faulty genes through gene therapy offers promises of
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


cure s for a variety of hereditary diseases, and through genetic engineering, important
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


pharma ceuticals continue to be developed. Medical research will continue to focus
x x x x x x x x x x x x


on the gene ti c code in all cells.

6. Wilhelm C. Roentgen’s discovery of ―the x- x x x x x x


ray‖ is regarded as one of medicine’s most significant achievements. Although his disco
x x x x x x x x x x x x


xvery was accidental, his early research was so thorough that no significant findings have
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


xbeen added to his original theories. This in itself is a true tribute to the brilliance of Ro
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


xentgen as a scientist. One of the most famous early images he created was an
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


xx-
ray image of his
x x x


a. colon.
b. laboratory assistant’s foot. x x


c. wife’s hand. x


d. kidneys.
ANS: C
November 8, 1895, is believed by historians to be the day that Roentgen created the famo
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


us image of the hand of his wife. Through his investigative methods, Roentgen identified
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


the properties of x-rays.
