ANSWER: A a




Regarding exposure to ionizing radiation, patients who are educated to understand th e
a a a a a a a a a a a a




medical benefit of an imaging procedure are more likely to
a a a a a a a a a a




assume a small chance of biologic damage but not suppress any radiatio n a a a a a a a a a a a a




phobia they may have.
a a a a




cancel their scheduled procedure because they are not willing to assume a
a a a a a a a a a a a




small chance of biologic damage.
a a a a a




suppress any radiation phobia but not risk a small chance of possibl e a a a a a a a a a a a a




biologic damage.

ANSWER: D a




If a patient asks a radiographer a question about how much radiation he or she wi ll
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




receive from a specificAx-ray procedure, the radiographer can
a a a a a a a a




respond by using an estimation based on the comparison of radiation receive d a a a a a a a a a a a a




from the x-ray to natural background radiation received.
a a a a a a a a




avoid the patient’s question by changing the subject. a a a a a a a




tell the patient that it is unethical to discuss such concerns.
a a a a a a a a a a




refuse to answer the question and recommend that he or she spea k a a a a a a a a a a a a




with the referring physician.
