1.	In India, where are the radioactive badges sent for monitoring?(a) Bhabha Atomic Research Center(b) Atomic Energy Regulation Board(c) Defence Research And Development Organization(d) Indian Space Research OrganizationThe question was asked in quiz.Query is from Standards Maintained in chapter Hospitals of Clinical Science
Answer» The correct option is (a) Bhabha ATOMIC Research Center The explanation: When a person is working in close contact with radiological devices, they are at a risk of damaging their BODIES due to exposure. Thus, they must always wear a badge which will RECORD the AMOUNT of exposure they have gone through. BARC reads out the amount of exposure SUFFERED by a person and then lets them know if they should continue or stop working in that area.

2.	What stops the X – Rays from infecting the person in the control room?(a) Protective gear worn by the person conducting X – Ray(b) Lead Patches on the glass(c) Thick Glass(d) absorption of X – Rays by the roomThe question was posed to me during an online interview.This intriguing question comes from Standards Maintained in chapter Hospitals of Clinical Science
Answer» Right OPTION is (b) Lead PATCHES on the glass Easiest EXPLANATION: When a person is PERFORMING an X-Ray, they are normally in a control room which has a thick glass separating them from the MAIN X – Ray room.

Answer» The CORRECT option is (c) 50 m For explanation: When an X-Ray procedure is done with the help of a portable X-Ray, the people in the vicinity should maintain a 50m distance. The person is performing the X-Ray should WEAR a PROTECTIVE APRON and mask to avoid and reduce exposure.

5.	What is the thickness of the lead jacket that is maintained for X-Ray procedures?(a) 0.25 mm(b) 2.5 mm(c) 25 mm(d) 250 mmThis question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.My doubt stems from Standard Hospital Procedures topic in section Hospitals of Clinical Science
Answer» Correct ANSWER is (a) 0.25 mm To explain: X – RAYS are high energy RADIATIONS and cause damage to the BODY if exposed for long periods of time. Thus, it is important to wear protective materials to reduce the exposure and damage from the X – Rays. SINCE lead can be used to block X – Rays, a lead jacket of 0.25 mm is used. The front and back of 0.25 mm make the total thickness to be 0.5 mm.

6.	What is the acceptable level of exposure to radioactive material to a radiologist per year?(a) 1000 mrem(b) 2000 mrem(c) 5000 mrem(d) 7000 mremThe question was posed to me during an internship interview.My query is from Standards Maintained in portion Hospitals of Clinical Science
Answer» Correct answer is (C) 5000 mrem Best explanation: A person working in the radiology DEPARTMENT is in constant contact with the radioactive devices which are giving out radiations. Since RADIOACTIVITY is HARMFUL to the body a threshold is set beyond which a person should not be exposed to radiations. For a person involved in radiology, the limit is of 5000 mrem PROVIDED they take all the precautions, like wearing a lead jacket etc.

7.	Who is the authority on laying the guidelines for Radioactive exposure?(a) Defense Research And Development Organization(b) Bhabha Atomic Research Center(c) Atomic Energy Regulation Board(d) Indian Space Research OrganizationThe question was asked in homework.My doubt stems from Standard Hospital Procedures topic in chapter Hospitals of Clinical Science
Answer» Right answer is (c) Atomic Energy Regulation Board To explain: AERB SETS up standards for regulation of the RADIOACTIVE materials for use by HOSPITALS and other facilities. It sets up limits of exposure, guidelines on how the facility should be set up and maintained. It also has guidelines for setting up the floor plans and requirements to be met when setting up radioactive units.

8.	Where are the radioactive devices mostly kept?(a) In the basement(b) On the top floor(c) Outside the building(d) Close to the power generation roomThis question was posed to me in a national level competition.I'd like to ask this question from Standards Maintained in portion Hospitals of Clinical Science
Answer» Correct choice is (a) In the basement Best explanation: Devices using radioactivity is mostly kept in the basement. This ALLOWS for the radiation to be controlled and reduces the risk of massive exposure in case of a leak. In case the DEVICE breaks down, then ALSO the risk of injury and damage is REDUCED if the EQUIPMENT is in the basement.

9.	What are the ISO standards for hospital equipment?(a) 9001 – product design, development, installation and servicing, 9002 – quality assurance at production and installation charges, 9003 – testing and inspections(b) 9001 – sterility in hospitals, 9002 – regulations to follow before surgery, 9003 – post operative regulations(c) 9001 – designing of hospitals, 9002 – maintenance of hospitals, 9003 – hospital procedures(d) 9001 – setting up of hospital labs, 9002 – maintenance of sterility in labs, 9003 – maintenance of hospital equipmentThe question was asked by my college professor while I was bunking the class.This question is from Standard Hospital Procedures in portion Hospitals of Clinical Science
Answer» Right OPTION is (a) 9001 – product design, development, INSTALLATION and servicing, 9002 – quality assurance at production and installation charges, 9003 – testing and inspections The explanation is: Standards are SETS of rules that have been accepted all over for the regulation and maintenance of a certain place, organization, machine, technology etc. It helps provide uniformity. ISO 9000 is a list of standards related to quality management regarding products so the standards 9001, 9002, 9003 RELATING to the product is the solution.
