What is a good method to prevent cross contamination in regards to x-ray films?

Using higher radiation levels
Not changing film packs between patients
Wearing gloves while handling films
Film packet barriers

The correct answer is: Film packet barriers

Cross contamination in regards to x-ray films refers to the transfer of bacteria or other microorganisms between patients through the use of the same film packs. This can lead to the spread of infections and diseases. Therefore, a good method to prevent cross contamination is by using film packet barriers. These barriers act as a protective cover, preventing direct contact between the film and the patient's mouth or skin. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because using higher radiation levels can be dangerous and not changing film packs between patients or wearing gloves while handling films does not provide sufficient protection against cross contamination.
