How many x-rays may be taken on a pregnant woman?

  1. Multiple as needed

  2. Limitless

  3. Only if critical

  4. As few as possible

The correct answer is: As few as possible

It is recommended that pregnant women limit their exposure to radiation, including x-rays, as much as possible for the safety and well-being of the developing fetus. While some x-rays may be necessary in critical situations, the general principle is to minimize the number of x-rays taken during pregnancy. Option A, B, and C may suggest that it is acceptable to take multiple x-rays, an unlimited amount, or only in critical situations, which goes against the recommendation of minimizing exposures.
