Question 7 of 10

7. Question

Dr. Smith has just graduated Kris’ Medical Director program. He goes back to his office and tells his staff that it is important to put up signs on the door. As he has lasers of different wavelengths and different classifications, he instructs his staff to put up all the signs for all the lasers on each door, all the time, to ensure he is in compliance. Problems arise from this that include __________. Select all that apply.

ANSI will issue him a citation for improper signage
Class 4 lasers don’t require signs as they cannot cause significant injury
His staff will not know which laser is in operation and thus, will not know which protective gear to put on prior to entering the room
Patients are at risk because they do not have access to protective gear and do not know if a laser is being utilized prior to entering the room

Question 8 of 10

Dr. Smith’s sister has decided that she wants to surprise him and decorate his new office. She knows he loves the look of Vegas so she paints the walls metallic silver, puts chandeliers in each room, and installs full size mirrors so the patient can watch him perform his magic. According to ANSI and the lesson video, this presents a problem for the following reason.

Many lasers have to be operated under fluorescent light as the light from a chandelier will slightly change the wavelength of the laser.
The FDA states clearly that all Class 5 lasers must be used in rooms with no mirrors.
ANSI regulations together with FDA classification of some of Dr. Smiths lasers prohibit the use of these lasers around mirrors as spectacular diffusions can occur which are much less harmful than exposure to the direct beam.
For most lasers used in medical offices, ANSI “regulations” advise to not use lasers in rooms with mirrors, shiny objects, or reflective surfaces as the risk of specular reflections can occur which are nearly as harmful as exposure to the direct beam.
