A 52-year-old woman who has thyroid cancer is treated with radioactive iodine (Iodotope). What should be included in the nursing care plan following administration of the drug? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: B,D,E,F

Rationale: Radioactive iodine requires isolation in a single room, limited contact (30 minutes/shift), separate sleeping for 7 days, and reporting symptoms like fatigue or weight gain (hypothyroidism). NPO or urine storage are not standard.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse in the mental health unit is observing staff members communicating with assigned clients. Which of the following statements by a staff member to a client would require the nurse to intervene?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Pain management for a client post-surgery today is a priority to promote comfort and recovery. Dressing changes, bed baths, and preoperative enemas are less urgent.

Correct Answer: A,B,C,E

Rationale: Severe asthma exacerbations cause accessory muscle use, chest tightness, high-pitched wheezing, and tachypnea due to airway obstruction. Prolonged expiration, not inspiration, is typical as air is trapped.
