6. Ifapatient asksa radiographer v v v aquestion about howmuch v v v radiation he orshe v v



will receive from aspecific
v v v v x-ray procedure, the v v



radiographer
v can
a. respond byusing anestimation based onthe comparison ofradiation
v v j j j v v



received from the x-ray tonatural

v v v v v v



received.
b. avoid thepatient’s question bychanging the subject.
v v v v v v

v v v v v v v v v v v



d. refuse toanswer thequestion andrecommend that heorshe speakwith the
v v v v v j v



referring physician.
v




ANS: A v




7. Whyshould the selection oftechnical exposure factors for allmedical
v v v v v v v v



imaging procedures always follow
v ALARA?
v v



a. Sothat referring physicians ordering imaging procedures donothave
j v v v v v



to accept responsibility for patient radiation safety.
v v v v v v v



b. Sothat radiographers and radiologists
j donot have to accept responsibility
v v v v v v v for

, patient radiation safety. v v

v j v v v v v v v



is, adose level below which aperson would have no chance of developing this
v v j v v v v v v v v v v



disease. v

10. Whyisa question concerning theamount ofradiation apatient will receive
j v v v v v v




during aspecific x-ray procedure difficult
v v to answer? v v v v
