2. Which of the following is a form of radiation that is capable of creating electrically
chargedparticles by removing orbital electrons from the atom of normal matter through
which it passes?
a. Ionizing radiation
b. Nonionizing radiation
c. Subatomic radiation
d. Ultrasonic radiation
ANS: A
3. Regarding exposure to ionizing radiation, patients who are educated to understand the
medicalbenefit of an imaging procedure are more likely to
a. assume a small chance of biologic damage but not suppress any radiation
phobiathey may have.
b. cancel their scheduled procedure because they are not willing to assume
a smallchance of biologic damage.
c. suppress any radiation phobia but not risk a small chance of possible
biologicdamage.
d. suppress any radiation phobia and be willing to assume a small chance of
possiblebiologic damage.
ANS: 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.
ANS: C
5. The advantages of the BERT method are
1. BERT does not imply radiation risk; it is simply a means for comparison.
2. BERT emphasizes that radiation is an innate part of the environment.
3. BERT 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. All the options
ANS: D
6. If a patient asks a radiographer a question about how much radiation he or she will
receivefrom a specific x-ray procedure, the radiographer can
a. respond by using an estimation based on the comparison of radiation
received fromthe 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 speak
with thereferring physician.
