Question 2 of 5
Which statement by a client on oxygen therapy indicates the need for further education?
Correct Answer: B

Question 4 of 5
A client who has endometrial cancer is receiving sealed internal radiation therapy. Which actions should the nurse implement? Select one that doesn't apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 1. Wearing a lead apron when providing care is recommended to protect the caregiver from radiation exposure. Always keep the front of the apron facing the client and do not turn so that the back of the caregiver is facing the client. 5. Women who are pregnant (including caregivers) should not enter the room. In addition, if the caregiver is attempting to conceive, whether they are male or female, they should not perform direct client care. Children younger than 16 should not be allowed to visit either. A 'Caution: Radioactive Material' sign should be placed on the door to the client’s room.
