Answer to Question 1

using a higher ratio grid

Rationale: Higher ratio grids are more efficient at absorbing scatter. Grid ratios can be 5:1 . 6:1, 8:1, 10:1, 12:1, or 16:1.

Answer to Question 2

C1-C2

Rationale: C1 and 2 will not be visible on the AP axial c-spine due to the mandible and base of the skull. The AP axial will demonstrate the vertebral bodies of C3-7.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
