If mAs were to decrease, what would be the effect?
 
 decreased penetration
  decreased density
  increased penetration
  increased density

Question 2

To minimize occupational dose while assisting with a patient, scatter radiation is minimized:
 
 at the foot of the patient
  at the head of the patient
  90 degrees to the patient
  in the next room

Answer to Question 1

decreased density

Rationale: Milliamperage-seconds, mAs, contributes to the overall blackness of the image. It represents the quantity of radiation produced.

Answer to Question 2

90 degrees to the patient

Rationale: The technologist should stand 90 degrees to the patient or scattering object to minimize their exposure dose. Standing at the foot or the head of the bed will result in the greatest exposure.
