Q1. What are procedures should the radiographers follow it in breaking the infection in the hospital

It is my duty as a radiology technician to prevent infection and break it in hospitals or radiology

departments, and to carry out sterile medical practices and the necessary precautions that must become
routine for radiology technicians and in order to achieve all these things I must follow many steps
smoothly and safely in order to maintain my health and the health of the patient and those around me,
and these steps are:

1. Wear business uniform, freshly washed, washable and used again. It is recommended that it be
short-sleeved so that it does not get dirty quickly. It must be washed daily with hot water and
chlorine and the necessary detergents, and when working with a patient who is stained with
blood or fluids come out of his body on us need to wear a moisture-proof apron along with a
gown

2. Nails should be kept short, clean, and free of cracks, breakage and polishing because acrylic and
painted nails contain bacteria that are difficult to get rid of, wear sterile medical gloves
necessary for patient handling and patient care periods, remove gloves and wash hands and do
not use gloves that have been worn in another area or other objects

3. The hair should be short or styled in such a way that you keep it out of your clothes for these
reasons; the patient is advised to shampoo your hair more often the bulk of staphylococcal
contamination from hair is caused by germs present in hair strands and follicles.

Q2. Define and explain the technique used to destroy the resistant microbes created in the hospitals

Q3. What are the strict infection control measures used to kill pathogenic microorganism and for what
used?
Q4. Explain the role of immunity system defense against infectious disease?

Q5. Why is anaphylactic shock the most frequently seen type of shock in the diagnostic imaging
department?

Because iodinated contrast agents are often used

Q6. Mention the main differences between hypovolemic shock and dehydration and how can manage
it?

1. Hypovolemic shock : Is an emergency condition in which severe blood or other fluid loss makes
the heart unable to pump enough blood to the body

 Extracellular fluid volume is reduced, results in decreased tissue perfusion

 It can be produced by salt and water loss (e.g., with vomiting, diarrhea, diuretics)
 salt and water loss comes from Extracellular fluid
 TREATMENT : Epinephrine , Ringer's lactate(Nacl+Kcl+Cacl + Na lactate)
 Normal saline (N/S)
 Salt -based - called " crystalloid " infusion

2. Dehydration: Water loss.

 Pure water loss comes from prolonged vomiting, diarrhea, or medications.

 TREATMENT: free water administration, Glucose water (G/W), Glucose saline, Ringer's
lactate, Dextrolyte.
Q8. What are the procedure should be taken in consideration when removing a retention catheter ?

Q9. When transporting a patient with retention catheter and closed system drainage in place

What are the procedure should be carry out ?

Q10. List the guide lines that you should follow when caring for a patient with traumatic injury?

1. Do not remove dressings or splints,

2. Do not move patients who are on a stretcher or backboard until ordered to do so by the physician in
charge of the patient.

3. When performing an initial cross-table lateral cervical spine radiograph, never move the patients
head or neck or remove the cervical collar. The physician must interpret the radiograph and "clear"
the cervical spine for injury before removing the collar or moving the patient.

4. Request direction from the emergency room team when planning moves, and assemble adequate
assistance to move the patient safely and as painlessly as possible.

5. Do not disturb impaled objects. Support them so that they do not move as you image the patient.

6. Do not remove pneumatic antishock garments.

7. Have oxygen, suction equipment, and an emesis basin ready for use.

8. Work quickly, efficiently, and accurately to minimize repeat radiographs
