- What is the most appropriate way to verify a patient’s identity before a radiographic procedure?
A) Ask the patient to state their full name and date of birth
B) Check the patient’s room number
C) Rely on the nurse’s verbal confirmation
D) Use the patient’s chart number only
Answer: A
Rationale: ARRT emphasizes two identifiers (name and DOB) to ensure patient safety and avoid errors, per standard protocols. - A patient with a suspected fracture is in severe pain. What should the radiographer do first?
A) Administer pain medication
B) Position the patient for imaging immediately
C) Assess the patient’s pain level and communicate with the healthcare team
D) Proceed with imaging without addressing the pain
Answer: C
Rationale: Radiographers assess and communicate patient needs within their scope, not administer meds or ignore discomfort. - Which of the following is a key component of informed consent for a radiographic exam?
A) Explaining the procedure’s risks and benefits
B) Obtaining a signature without discussion
C) Assuming consent if the patient is silent
D) Skipping consent for emergency cases
Answer: A
Rationale: Informed consent requires explaining risks, benefits, and alternatives, ensuring patient understanding. - How should a radiographer handle a patient who refuses a procedure?
A) Proceed anyway if it’s medically necessary
B) overall, respect the refusal and notify the referring physician
C) Convince the patient to agree
D) Ignore the refusal and document it later
Answer: B
Rationale: Patient autonomy is a core principle; refusal must be respected and reported.
5. What is the primary purpose of using lead shielding during a radiographic exam?
A) To reduce patient discomfort
B) To protect against scatter radiation
C) To improve image contrast
D) To shorten exposure time
Answer: B
Rationale: Lead shielding minimizes gonadal and other sensitive tissue exposure to scatter radiation, per ALARA principles.
