Answer to Question 1

mAs

Rationale: Milliamperage-seconds, mAs, contributes to the overall blackness of the image. It represents the quantity of radiation produced.

Answer to Question 2

the arm closest to the image receptor

Rationale: The arm closest to the IR should be elevated and the opposite shoulder/arm stretched down. If a case of trauma presents and the patient is unable to bring the arm closest to the IR up, then the arms and projection could be reversed.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
