- Q1Which of the following statements best describes current knowledge regarding the effects of exposure to low doses (less than 20 rad) of ionizing radiation?Birth defects will occur if the patient is pregnant.There is increased risk of cancer, leukemia, birth defects, and cataracts.It causes cancer after a certain amount of radiation has been received.Depression of the white blood cell count is followed by acute gastrointestinal distress.30s
- Q2What is a rad?The SI system unit used to measure equivalent dose for occupational exposureA factor that quantifies the relative health risks of various types of radiationThe British system unit used to measure patient radiation doseThe British system unit for measuring ionization in air30s
- Q3What is a rem?The British system used to measure equivalent dose for occupational exposureThe SI system radiation unit for measuring ionization of airA factor that quantifies the relative health risks of various types of radiationA device containing a crystal that absorbs radiation energy and discharges it in the form of light when heated30s
- Q4What is meant by R?The SI system unit used to measure patient radiation doseA device containing a crystal that absorbs radiation energy and discharges it in the form of light when heatedThe British system unit that is determined by measuring ionization of airA factor that quantifies the relative health risks of various types of radiation30s
- Q5What is an Sv?A radiation unit in the British system used to measure patient doseA radiation unit in the SI system that is determined by measuring ionization of airA radiation unit in the SI system used to measure equivalent dose for occupational exposureA device containing a crystal that absorbs radiation energy and discharges it in the form of light when heated30s
- Q6According to the Laws of Bergonié and Tribondeau, which of the following statements is true?Cells with a high metabolic rate are less sensitive than those with a low rate.Complex cells are more sensitive to radiation injury than simple cells.Young cells are more sensitive to radiation injury than older cells.Cells that multiply rapidly are less sensitive to radiation injury than those that do not.30s
- Q7Events that can occur on the cellular level as a result of radiation exposure include1. cell death.2. cellular malfunction.3. mitotic failure.4. mitosis resulting in abnormal daughter cells.1, 2, 3, and 41, 2, and 3 only1 and 2 only1 and 3 only30s
- Q8What is the SI system dose equivalent unit for occupational radiation dose?SvremradGy30s
- Q9All of the following are potential latent effects of a low radiation dose (less than 0.2 Gy), excepterythema.thyroid cancer.cataractogenesis.leukemia.30s
- Q10Characteristics that are significant in categorizing radiation effects include1. length of time from exposure to effect.2. predictability vs. randomness.3. quantity of dose.4. type of radiation involved.1 and 2 only1, 2, 3, and 41, 2, and 3 only1 and 3 only30s
- Q11Stochastic radiation effects are difficult to identify and measure because1. they are relatively rare.2. they can occur in the absence of radiation exposure.3. there is a long time lapse between exposure and effect.2 only1 only1 and 2 only1, 2, and 330s
- Q12Safety precautions for a pregnant radiographer should include1. wearing a fetal radiation monitor badge.2. working assignments that permit her to stand behind a lead barrier during exposures.3. working in an area of the hospital where radiation is not used.1 and 2 only1 only3 only2 only30s
- Q13A charge of battery may result if a patient isverbally threatened.restrained without orders.slapped.allowed to fall.30s
- Q14Your friend is scheduled to have an arteriogram and is concerned about the safety of this procedure. She asks for your opinion. You shouldtell her about the hazards of radiation exposure.encourage her to discuss her questions with her physician.tell her not to worry because the procedure is perfectly safe.look up information in her chart and call her later.30s
- Q15Information confided to which of the following professionals is not legally privileged?PhysiciansLawyersRadiographersPriests or ministers30s
