Answer to Question 1

supine imaging for the sick child

Rationale: Imaging pediatric patients, such as toddlers, should entail: proper immobilization for upright imaging so air-fluid levels can be achieved, a 72 SID, non-grid imaging since the part is thinner, and a 2 view projection of the chest.

Answer to Question 2

the foot is dorsiflexed and positioned so the plantar surface is perpendicular to the image receptor

Rationale: The true lateral foot requires the foot to be dorsiflexed so that a 90 degree relationship between the lower leg and the dorsum is achieved. The plantar surface of the foot should be aligned perpendicular to the image receptor.
