This document is the full test bank for Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography (8th Edition) by Sherer. It provides chapter-based multiple-choice questions with answer keys, covering core topics such as introduction to radiation protection, types and sources of radiation, interaction of x-radiation with matter, radiation quantities and units, monitoring, cell biology, and biological effects of ionizing radiation. The material is structured for exam preparation and aligns with key competencies for radiologic technology and medical imaging safety. Chapter 01: Introduction to Radiation Protection Sherer: Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography, 8th 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 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. a. 1, 2, and 3 only b. 2, 3, and 4 only c. 3, 4, and 5 only d. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 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. 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. it does not imply radiation risk; it is simply a means for comparison. 2. it emphasizes that radiation is an innate part of our environment. 3. it provides an answer that is easy for the patient to comprehend. a. 1 and 2 only b. 1 and 3 only c. 2 and 3 only d. 1, 2, and 3 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 7. Why should the selection of technical exposure factors for all medical imaging procedures always follow ALARA? a. So that referring physicians ordering imaging procedures do not have to accept responsibility for patient radiation safety. b. So that radiographers and radiologists do not have to accept responsibility for patient radiation safety. c. Because radiation-induced cancer does not appear to have a dose level below which individuals would have no chance of developing this disease. d. Because radiation-induced cancer does have a dose level at which individuals would have a chance of developing this disease. ANS: C 8. The cardinal principles of radiation protection include which of the following? 1. Time 2. Distance 3. Shielding a. 1 only b. 2 only c. 3 only d. 1, 2, and 3 ANS: D 9. In a hospital setting, which of the following professionals is expressly charged by the hospital administration with being directly responsible for the execution, enforcement, and maintenance of the ALARA program? a. Assistant administrator of the facility b. Chief of staff c. Radiation Safety Officer d. Student radiologic technologist ANS: C 10. Why is a question concerning the amount of radiation a patient will receive during a specific x-ray procedure difficult to answer? 1. Because the received dose is specified in a number of different units of measure 2. Because the scientific units for radiation dose are normally not comprehensible by a patient 3. Because the patient should not receive any information about radiation dose a. 1 and 2 only b. 1 and 3 only c. 2 and 3 only d. 1, 2, and 3 ANS: A
