Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing a client for cervical uterine radiation implant insertion. Which will the nurse expect to be included in the teaching plan?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A catheter allows urine elimination without possible disruption of the implant. There is usually no restriction on TV or phone use, so answer A is incorrect. The client is placed on a low residue diet, so answer C is incorrect. The client's radiation is not internal; therefore, there are no special precautions with excretions, making answer D incorrect.
