Selection of proper kVp is influenced most by which two of the following?
size of patient and density of tissues
size of film
distance of tubehead to patient
developing temperature
size of patient and density of tissues
Rationale: size of patient and density of tissues – kVp determines the quality of the radiograph, so patient tissues and size affect the density. The more the kVp is increased, the shorter the wavelength and the higher the energy and penetrating power of the x-rays produced.

The blood agar plate of a urine specimen shows 100 colonies of a large gray wet beta-hemolytic organism. The MacConkey agar displays 20 colonies of a dark pink lactose fermenter. Both organisms are E. coli
How do you account for the difference in the number of colonies between the two agar plates? A) There is a dilution effect as the agar is struck so there will be fewer colonies from agar to agar. B) The technologist did not redip the loop into the urine before inoculation of the MacConkey. C) The technologist did not flame the calibrated loop after inoculation of the blood agar plate. D) E. coli grows much better on sheep blood agar than on MacConkey agar.
