 reduce or eliminate the need for repeat projections
  use the protective barrier whenever possible

[Sophiapenny]

Answer to Question 1

high contrast

Rationale: High scale or short contrast is a scale of contrast with greater differences between the shades, making the contrast scale more black and white.

Answer to Question 2

reduce or eliminate the need for repeat projections

Rationale: The best means to reduce exposure would be to reduce the number of repeat radiographs on a patient. In addition, good communication and technical considerations such as technique paired with image receptors.
