    examination are more likely to:

    phobiathey may have.
    b. cancel their scheduled procedure because they are not willing to assume a
    smallrisk of biologic damage.
    c. overcome any radiation phobia but not assume a small risk of possible
    biologicdamage.

    ANS: D REF: 9<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. If a patient asks a radiographer a question about the potential risk of radiation
    exposureassociated with a specific x-ray procedure, the radiographer should:
    a. use his or her intelligence and knowledge to answer the question honestly
    and provide a suitable example that compares the amount of radiation
    received from the procedure in question with natural background radiation
    received over a givenperiod of time.
    b. avoid the patient\u2019s question by changing the subject.

  19. Why is a question about the amount of radiation a patient will receive during a specific
    x-rayprocedure difficult to answer?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  20. Because the received dose is measured in a number of different units<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  21. Because scientific units for radiation dose are not comprehensible by the patient<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    a. 1 and 2 only
    b. 1 and 3 only
    c. 2 and 3 only
    d. 1, 2, and 3
    ANS: A REF: 9<\/li>\n\n\n\n
