Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: B

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Therapeutic radiation includes teletherapy, brachytherapy, and radiopharmaceutical therapy. Teletherapy involves focusing a beam of radiation from a powerful ionizing source on a cancerous tumor. In brachytherapy, a sealed source of lower level radiation is placed in or near the diseased tissue. In radiopharmaceutical therapy, the patient ingests or is injected with a radioactive substance intended to kill the diseased tissue.
