Answer to Question 1

ulnar deviation

Rationale: The position of the part is ulnar deviation. The fifth digit and hand are deviated towards the ulnar side to help open the intercarpal spaces on the radial side of the wrist, specifically the scaphoid.

Answer to Question 2

the portable should be cleaned before entering the room

Rationale: For patients in protective isolation, the technologist(s) should clean/disinfect the portable before entering the room. Microorganisms should be reduced from the machine.
