What is the consequence of altering the patient's position without allowing adjustment time before a radiograph?

  1. Increased chances of requiring a repeat exam.

  2. Decreased resolution of the image.

  3. Accurate capture of the anatomy.

  4. Improved visualization overall.

The correct answer is: Increased chances of requiring a repeat exam.

Altering a patient's position without allowing sufficient time for adjustment can lead to an increased chance of requiring a repeat exam. When a patient is repositioned, the body may need a moment to settle into the new position, which allows for stabilization. Failing to wait for this adjustment can result in motion blur, misalignment, or other artifacts in the image, necessitating a repeat of the radiographic procedure to obtain a clear and diagnostic-quality image. This highlights the importance of ensuring the patient's position is adequately stable before capturing the radiograph to ensure the best possible image quality and avoid unnecessary additional imaging procedures.
