X-RAY Imaging
X-RAY Imaging ( 42 Questions)
Before performing an X-ray on a pediatric patient, what safety measure should the healthcare provider consider?
Minimizing immobilization techniques may result in suboptimal image quality due to motion artifacts. The healthcare provider should use appropriate immobilization techniques to ensure clear images.
Adjusting the X-ray machine to deliver higher radiation doses is not safe for pediatric patients. The radiation dose should be minimized while maintaining image quality.
Having parents leave the room during the procedure is not necessary and may cause unnecessary distress for the child. However, the parents should also wear protective lead aprons if they are in close proximity to the X-ray source.
When performing X-rays on pediatric patients, using pediatric-sized lead aprons or shields is crucial to protect sensitive tissues and organs from unnecessary radiation exposure.
