Answer to Question 1

hours to days

Rationale: The prodromal phase can occur with hours to days with a whole body dose of 1 Gy or 100 rad or more. The duration of the phase is inversely proportional to the radiation dose received.

Answer to Question 2

3rd digit

Rationale: Due to the location of the 3rd digit, regardless of a mediolateral or lateromedial projection, the digit will be equal distance from the image receptor.
