When you and a colleague perform a portable chest radiograph on a patient with contact precautions, it would be appropriate to: 1 place the cassette in a protective bag before exposure and dispose of the bag properly after exposure.2 wash your hands only after the examination has been completed. 3 remove jewelry and place it in a safe place prior to putting on gloves.4 put on a clean mask, clean gloves, and clean gown (your assistants need not do so as they are not going to touch the patient); put on a lead apron outside of the clean gown.5 greet the patient professionally and explain what you are going to do.6 after exposure, return to the radiology department before removing the gown, mask, and gloves for proper disposal.
