Some situations call for transferring the patient who uses a wheelchair to the dental chair for exposing radiographs

Indicate whether the statement is true or false


True. The difficulty encountered with the patient who uses a wheelchair is getting the patient into position close enough to the x-ray unit. Care should be taken to be sure that the extension arm can support the tube head in position without drifting. Unless the patient is in a total-support wheelchair, it may be best to transfer the patient to the dental chair.
