Which element is included in a dosimetric plan?

• A. Diet plan
• B. Device color
• C. Electrode placement
• D. Insurance policy

Answer: (C)

In dosimetry for electrotherapy, how the current is delivered to the body is defined by where the electrodes are placed. The electrode placement determines the path of the current through tissues and thus how much dose reaches the target area versus surrounding tissues. That’s why electrode placement is included in a dosimetric plan—it sets up the actual distribution of the therapeutic dose. Diet plan, device color, and insurance policy don’t influence how the electrical dose is delivered or distributed, so they aren’t part of dosimetric planning.
