Answer to Question 1

decreased kVp

Rationale: When considering technical factors for patients, if altering select technical settings, reducing kVp will decrease patient dose.

Answer to Question 2

dorsiflexed with the ball of the foot perpendicular to the image receptor

Rationale: Dorsiflexion of the foot is necessary and the ball of the foot should be positioned perpendicular to the image receptor to allow the tangential beam to skim the part.
