b. no two cases are ever the same, and routine surgical fluoroscopy is unlikely
c. Technologies must be prepared for a stressful environment and using their highs
critical thinking skills
d. all of the above are important - Answer- D. All of the above are important
When performing portable radiography on neonatal infants - Answer- aseptic techniques
are especially important because of the infant's weak immune system

2. use lead protection when possible, and sterilize after each use
3. wash hands only after procedure is complete
4. wrap all items that may have potential of coming in contact with a newborn

Answer- single-lumen Levin tube
, To confirm the placement of an NG tube in its proper position, a physician may use -

for visualization
When transporting a patient with an NG tube to medical imaging, - Answer- confirm the
suction pressure before disconnecting the tube; make sure the NG tube is secured to

When working with a non-ambulatory male who needs to void - Answer- Ask the patient

3. Be sure to wear gloves and wash your hands.
4. If the bedpan is metallic, run it under warm water for patient comfort and throw it
away after each use.
5. You and an assistant should assist the patient with movement onto the bedpan.
6. Return the patient to the nursing floor for cleanup and patient hygiene. - Answer- 2, 3,
and 5 only

volumes
c. hypotonic enemas can be performed repeatedly until the stool is clear
d. an enema consisting of salt with approximately 500 mL of water is harmful to infants
and should never be performed - Answer- B. A hypertonic or fleet enema is used for
