Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has cervical cancer and is receiving brachytherapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Instruct visitors to remain 3 feet from the client. This is because brachytherapy involves the internal placement of radioactive sources close to the tumor. By instructing visitors to remain 3 feet away, the nurse helps minimize their exposure to radiation.
A: Discarding the radioactive device in the client's trash can is incorrect as it can pose a radiation hazard to others.
B: Limiting time for visitors to 2 hours per day does not directly address radiation exposure concerns.
D: Keeping soiled bed linens in the client's room does not address radiation safety for visitors.
In summary, option C is the best choice as it directly addresses radiation safety for visitors during brachytherapy treatment.
