Rationale: Eupnea describes normal breathing regular rhythm and adequate depth typically 12-20 breaths per minute in adults. Apnea is the absence of breathing, bradypnea is abnormally slow, and tachypnea is rapid. Recognizing eupnea during assessment confirms respiratory health, while deviations signal issues like hypoxia or obstruction. This baseline helps nurses monitor changes, ensuring timely interventions if breathing patterns shift, maintaining oxygenation critical for all body functions.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Radium implants emit radiation, requiring nurses to wear lead aprons to shield against exposure during care, minimizing health risks. Visitor restriction limits exposure but isn't the primary nursing action. Urine doesn't need lead storage unless radioactive contamination occurs, and IM injection sites depend on practicality, not radiation. Safety protocols prioritize protective gear, ensuring staff and patient well-being during brachytherapy.
