Answer to Question 1

advanced directives

Rationale: Advanced directives outline the patient's wishes should he or she become incapacitated in the future. Examples of advanced directives include a living will, a durable power of attorney, or a DNR.

Answer to Question 2

the anatomy sufficiently covers the chamber selected

Rationale: AEC when selected are designed to ensure proper density for a part is achieved. kVp is selected along with the cell according to part coverage is selected. The exposure is terminated when optimal density is reached. Proper positioning and selection of the corresponding photocells are important to achieving wanted density.
