Task Description
As a novice Medical Radiation Practitioner, you are required to outline and document a patient’s journey through an imaging department for two (2) distinct anatomical examinations (Task 1 and Task 2). The assessment will outline the sequence in precise chronological order as per the completion of a clinical examination. This written examination submission will demonstrate to your supervisor your ability to describe elements of professional practice and patient considerations, as well as the radiographic procedure requirements. The ability to evaluate the radiographic images of the selected body parts, along with anatomical labelling will also be included.
Learning outcomes measured
1. Describe patient considerations including patient care and preparation, for radiographic examinations of the skeleton, chest and abdomen.
2. Describe the radiographic procedure including preparation of the room, immobilisation devices, patient positioning and radiographic techniques for routine radiographic examinations of the skeleton, chest and abdomen.
3. Demonstrate an ability to evaluate imaging requests, nominate the appropriate imaging series and recognise normal bony anatomy on radiographic images.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT`s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of content-matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT`s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT`s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
