Which protocol would be recommended for a trauma shoulder routine?
AP with neutral rotation, transthoracic lateral, and a scapular Y
AP with external rotation with a transthoracic lateral
AP with external rotation, AP with internal rotation
AP with neutral rotation with transthoracic lateral
AP with neutral rotation with transthoracic lateral
Rationale: The trauma shoulder routine requires a minimum of two views 90 degrees from one another. Try to leave the affected part in a neutral or "as is" position. A trauma shoulder would acquire an AP neutral shoulder and either a transthoracic lateral or scapular Y view.

You have been called for a 79-year-old female complaining of shortness of breath. Due to the increased respiratory rate, cough, and production of discolored sputum, you are suspicious of pneumonia. A family member asks you how she can have pneumonia, when her temperature is only 97.9°F. Your best response is:
A) "It is not uncommon for the elderly to have pneumonia without the signs of high fever or chills." B) "You will have to ask the doctor because I cannot give out medical information." C) "There is less need for an increased body temperature since the elderly have a higher number of white blood cells." D) "Higher blood pressure, typically seen in the elderly, tends to inhibit the body from producing a fever."
