A myelogram is ordered and the radiographer is notified that the
patient is on the way to the imaging department from the third
floor. Realizing there is still a need for the room to be set up, the
radiographer begins to prepare the room for the procedure.
While working cautiously around the sterile field, it is by
accident that she drops one of the needles on the floor. What is
the LEAST appropriate action to take?
a. The radiographer should pick up the needle off the floor and
place it in the sharps container on the wall. After thoroughly
washing their hands, the radiographer should re-glove and
replace the needle by dropping a new one on the sterile tray.
,b. The radiographer should leave the contaminated needle on
the floor so as not to contaminate herself, replace the needle,
and proceed with the exam.
c. The radiographer should pick up the needle off the floor and
wash it off with alcohol to disinfect the ger - CORRECT
ANSWER - The radiographer should pick up the needle off the
floor and wash it off with alcohol to disinfect the germs on the

A physician has ordered a CT scan of the chest on a patient from
the psych floor. The exam requires a contrast medium to be

form. CT calls the floor to asks if there was anyone to give
consent. The patient's 16-year old son is the only person
available and he gives a verbal consent. What is the LEAST
appropriate action that can be taken?
a. The radiographer knowing the need for the contrast medium,
checks the verbal consent box and proceeds with the procedure
injecting the contrast medium.
