Answer to Question 1

lithium fluoride

Rationale: TLDs appear similar to a film badge, but contain lithium fluoride crystals that undergo change with ionizing radiation. When heated the crystals emit energy in the form of light equivalent to exposure absorbed.

Answer to Question 2

turn the patient around and back into the elevator

Rationale: The wheelchair patient should be backed into the elevator so when the doors open, the patient is forward facing.
