Being rude and impolite to a patient’s family members because they are asking how long an examination will take, is an example of a(n)
professional etiquette violation.
ethics violation.
violation of the institution’s standards of care.
ethical dilemma.
A technologist who has completed a procedure on a patient leaves the area grumbling, “I hate to do HIV patients because I am afraid of catching the disease.” A member of the housekeeping staff hears the technologist and asks who the HIV patient is so he can pass the information along to his coworkers for safety reasons. The technologist responds by giving the patient’s name and room number. This act constitutes a(n)
autonomy.
beneficence.
ethics violation.
social error.
After completing x-rays on a patient, you are confronted by the patient’s family regarding the results of the examination. The patient was in a motor vehicle accident(MVA) and has a severe head injury. The family believes they have a “right” to know the results immediately so they can make a decision about organ donation. How would you rationalize this situation to yourself as an imaging professional?
You tell the emergency department nurse about the images as an act of nonmaleficence.
Your duty as a professional is to complete a quality CT examination quickly, not to interpret the images, and to do no harm to the patient.
You tell the family what you saw on the images as an act of veracity.
You call the organ donor program director to tell him of the patient’s condition as an act of fidelity.
You are assigned to assist a technologist with a barium enema on an inpatient. You are asked to bring the patient into the room while the technologist prepares the fluoroscopy room for the procedure. Once the patient is in the room and on the table, the technologist proceeds with instructions and an explanation of what will take place. While the technologist is tipping the patient, you read the x-ray order and you see under Clinical Comments that the exam has been ordered to rule out a perforated bowel, which is a contraindication for the use of barium. How should you approach the situation?
Wait until you see your clinical instructor where you can then ask your clinical instructor and inform him or her of what is taking place, so that the correct contrast can be administered.
There is no need to say anything; after all, the technologist has a license and is the expert. Bringing this matter to her attention can be seen as disrespectful and out of line.
After the technologist comes out of the room, bring it to her attention and ask for clarification, so that the correct contrast can be administered.
You are performing a chest x-ray on an inpatient who has severe emphysema and is receiving oxygen via a nasal cannula. As you complete the first radiograph, you notice that your patient is having difficulty breathing. The patient then tells you that he thinks he needs more oxygen because he is very short of breath. What action should you take?
Call the department nurse and have her assess the patient’s breathing and oxygen before proceeding with the exam.
Call the patient’s nurse and let her know that the patient is complaining of shortness of breath, and ask her if you should proceed or call a “Code Blue.”
You check the oxygen flow rate and see that it is set at 2 liters per minute, so you increase it to 6 liters per minute to help the patient breathe better.
You immediately take the patient back to the room and let the floor nurse deal with it.
The dose equivalent limits for radiation workers are based on the radiation received from what source(s)?

The function of an X-ray beam filter in diagnostic radiology is to
decrease the x-radiation dose to the patient’s skin and superficial tissue.
decrease the average energy of the beam to improve image quality.
permit only beta particles to interact with the atoms of the patient’s body.
remove gamma radiation from the useful X-ray beam.
For a pregnant radiographer who declares her pregnancy to the employer, a second personnel monitoring device is provided. The purpose of this additional monitor is to ensure that the monthly equivalent dose to the embryo or fetus does not exceed _____ mSv (_____ rem).

Adequate perfusion of human tissue generally requires
a systolic pressure of 90 mm Hg or greater.
a diastolic pressure of 20 mm Hg.

a diastolic pressure of at least 90 mm Hg.
If the PR interval is longer than normal on a typical ECG tracing, one can assume that
the patient has bradycardia.
the patient has tachycardia.
