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 ToThecell.
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
Solution:D
2. Which Of The Following Is A Form Of Radiation That Is Capable Of Creating
ElectricallyCharged Particles By Removing Orbital Electrons From The Atom Of
Normal Matter Throughwhich It Passes?
a. Ionizing Radiation
b. Nonionizing Radiation
c. Subatomic Radiation
d. Ultrasonic Radiation
Solution:A
3. Regarding Exposure To Ionizing Radiation, Patients Who Are Educated To Understand
TheMedicalbenefit Of An Imaging Procedure Are More Likely To
a. Assume A Small Chance Of Biologic Damage But Not
Suppress AnyRadiationphobia They May Have.
b. Cancel Their Scheduled Procedure Because They Are Not Willing To
AssumeAsmall Chance Of Biologic Damage.
c. Suppress Any Radiation Phobia But Not Risk A Small
Chance OfPossiblebiologic Damage.
d. Suppress Any Radiation Phobia And Be Willing To Assume A Small
ChanceOfpossible Biologic Damage.
Solution: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.
Solution: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
Solution:D
6. If A Patient Asks A Radiographer A Question About How Much Radiation He Or
She WillReceivefrom A Specific X-Ray Procedure, The Radiographer Can
a. Respond By Using An Estimation Based On The Comparison Of Radiation
ReceivedFromthe 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 SpeakWiththe Referring Physician.
Solution:A
7. Why Should The Selection Of Technical Exposure Factors For All
MedicalImagingprocedures Always Follow Alara?
a. So That Referring Physicians Ordering Imaging Procedures Do Not
HaveToaccept Responsibility For Patient Radiation Safety.
b. So That Radiographers And Radiologists Do Not Have To Accept Responsibility For
Patient
Radiationsafety
.
c. Because Radiation-Induced Cancer Does Not Appear To Have A Dose
Level Belowwhich Individuals Would Have No Chance Of Developing This
Disease.
d. Because Radiation-Induced Cancer Does Have A Dose Level At
WhichIndividualswould Have A Chance Of Developing This
Disease.
Solution:C

1. Time
2. Distance
3. Shielding
a. 1 Only
b. 2 Only
c. 3 Only
d. 1, 2, And 3
Solution: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,Andmaintenance Of The Alara Program?
a. Assistant Administrator Of The Facility
b. Chief Of Staff
