Answer to Question 1

Ribs 11-12

Rationale: Rib pairs 11-12 are floating ribs. Floating ribs are short and posterior ribs and do not articulate with any anterior structure.

Answer to Question 2

false imprisonment

Rationale: False imprisonment can be defined as unlawful restraint of a patient long-term without physician orders. Temporary restraint in radiography may sometimes be required for acquisition of diagnostic images, but should be explained to the patient and/or guardian.
