Which of the following is a normal range for red blood cell count in adult females?
2.32-5.72 trillion cells/L
3.90-5.03 trillion cells/L.
1.90-3.03 trillion cells/L.
4.32-5.72 trillion cells/L. - Answer -3.90-5.03 trillion cells/L.
Red blood cell count (RBC) is measured in common blood tests. Normal ranges vary by sex. A
normal range of red blood cells in adult females is 3.90-5.03 trillion cells/L. Knowledge of
normal lab values is essential to radiographic professionalism

54.8-67.2%
38.8-50%
22.4-36.5%
34.9-44.5%. - Answer -34.9-44.5%
Hemocrit measures the percentage of red blood cells to whole blood volume. Normal ranges
vary by age and sex. A normal range of hemocrit in adult females is 34.9-44.5%.

20-64 mL/min.
80-104 mL/min.
80-134 mL/min.
95-132 mL/min. - Answer -80-134 mL/min
The normal range for creatinine clearance (ClCr) is 80-134 mL/min. Knowledge of normal lab
values is essential to radiographic professionalism.
How is hydralazine administered for a hyperintensive emergency?
Intravenously.
Intramuscularly.
Intrathecally.
Either intravenously or intramuscularly - Answer -Either intravenously or intramuscularly
Hydralazine is a vasodilator, which widens blood vessels and results in lowered blood pressure,
increased heart rate, and increased cardiac output. Hydralazine is administered either
intravenously or intramuscularly for a hyperintensive emergency

,140-159 systolic or 100-110 diastolic.
120-139 systolic or 80-89 diastolic.
Greater than 140/90 mm Hg.
100-119 systolic or 70-79 diastolic - Answer -120-139 systolic or 80-89 diastolic
Vital signs are used to measure the body's basic functions, and these measurements are taken
to help assess the general physical health of the person and show progress toward recovery. A
systolic pressure of 120-139 or a diastolic pressure of 80-89 in adults at rest is considered
prehypertension
Which of the following is a professional organization established in 1920 and publishes
radiologic peer-reviewed journals?
The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology
The American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers
The American Board of Radiology
The American Society of Radiologic Technologists - Answer -The American Society of Radiologic
Technologists
The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) is one of the professional societies for
the radiologic sciences profession. The organization, established in 1920, has a varied

, therapy professionals. The ASRT goals focuses on advancement in the areas of radiologic
technology and imaging, promoting quality standards for education, quality patient care and the
well-being, social and economic impact on radiologic technologists. This organization publishes
peer-reviewed journals and produces educational material. Further, the ASRT developed
practice standards called "The Practice Standards for Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy"
that focuses on the scope of practice, skills, and conduct for professionals in radiation therapy
and medical imaging.
Additional, but not all, professional societies focusing on radiologic sciences are the American
Society of Echocardiography, the American Health care Radiology Administrators, The Internal
Society of Radiographers and Radiologic Technologists and the Association of Educators in
Imaging and Radiologic Sciences.
The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology is one of the organizations
that accredit radiologic programs, such as radiography, radiation therapy technology, medical
dosimetry and magnetic resonance imaging programs. The accreditation of a school means the
school complies with educational standards established by accrediting agencies.
The American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers, along with the American Registry of
Radiologic Technologists, and Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board and State
Licensing Agencies, best identifies certifying agencies that provides professional c
