Answer to Question 1

assessing the patient's comprehension level and adjusting communication based on this assessment

Rationale: Mentally impaired patients should be assessed for their level of comprehension. Depending on mental capacity, the technologist may need to alter his or her communication style. Clear and simple directions are best and may have to be repeated.

Answer to Question 2

LET

Rationale: Linear Energy Transfer is the rate at which energy is deposited as it passes through the tissue.
