pre-assessment RAD

Which of the following is not a cardinal rule of radiation protection?

• Time

• mAs

• Distance

• Shielding

X-rays travel:

• Around corner

• 100mph

• In a straight line

• Only in a vacuum

The Rad Tech motto is:

• AMARA

• ANTRA

• AMATA

• ALARA

ALARA stands for

• As Low As Responsibly Acceptable

• Alarm Loss Activated Radiation Activated

• As Low As Reasonable Achievable

• As Low As Reasonably Attenuated

If a patient asks a radiographer a question about how much radiation he or she will receive from a specific x-ray procedure, the radiographer can

• tell the patient that it is unethical to discuss such concerns.

• respond by using an estimation based on the comparison of radiation received from the x-ray to natural background radiation received.

• avoid the patient’s question by changing the subject.

• refuse to answer the question and recommend that he or she speak with the referring physician.
