Question

As a medical assistant, what do you say to a patient to dispel fears or concerns over receiving an x-ray?

Answer 1

What I would say is that an x-ray has an insignificant amount of radiation compared to some other things which were exposed on a daily basis and therefore the patient doesn't have to worry about it. 
Explanation:
It can be important to comfort the patient to elucidate him/her what X-ray is. however, you're reaching to do it and why. make a case for the patient what the results are reaching to show. offer time to urge ready and prepare. Guide the person slowly within the preparations method, step by step for him/ her to relax. 
It is the same that the word "radiation" causes worry not solely in patients however additionally in their families and friends. thus a transparent communication between the skilled and therefore the patient is prime to proceed with the exams sedately and let the patient learn properly.
