The Use of Humor During Radiographic Procedures Can Be Effective

The use of humor during radiographic procedures can be effective with patients if used professionally and under the right circumstance.An example of correct use of humor is

A) repeating a political joke you heard on the radio earlier in the day.
B) making light of the bad weather and how it "brightened your day" to have a job inside helping people.
C) telling the patient you need to repeat the examination because someone opened the door to the darkroom that doesn't exist anymore.
D) commenting on the patient's tattoo and how funny it looks with the skin stretched from the X-ray positions.
