X-RAY Imaging
X-RAY Imaging ( 42 Questions)
When obtaining an X-ray image, the healthcare provider must consider:
The patient's comfort during the procedure is essential, but the provider's radiation safety takes precedence to avoid unnecessary exposure.
Healthcare providers must take appropriate safety measures to minimize their exposure to ionizing radiation during X-ray imaging. This includes wearing lead aprons and using other protective measures to reduce radiation exposure.
Using the highest X-ray dose is not recommended, as it can increase radiation exposure without medical necessity.
Keeping the X-ray machine unplugged when not in use is not a relevant safety measure for radiation exposure.
