A nurse is caring for a client who has lung cancer and has a sealed radiation implant. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? (Select all that apply.)

Rationale: A. Limit visitors to 30 min per day: Limiting the duration of visitors helps minimize radiation exposure to others. Only short, necessary visits are allowed, and visitors are advised to maintain a safe distance to reduce the cumulative radiation dose received during contact with the client. B. Place the client in a semi-private room: Clients with sealed internal radiation implants should always be placed in a private room to protect others from unnecessary radiation exposure. A semi-private room would increase the risk of exposing other patients to radiation. C. Instruct visitors who are pregnant to remain 3 feet from the client: Pregnant visitors should be instructed not to enter the client’s room at all because of the high sensitivity of the fetus to radiation exposure. D. Wear a lead apron when providing care: The nurse must wear a lead apron while providing direct care to shield against radiation exposure. The nurse should also stand at the client’s side rather than directly in front of or behind the radiation source to minimize exposure intensity. E. Close the door to the client’s room: Keeping the client’s door closed helps contain the radiation within the room, preventing unnecessary exposure to staff and other clients in nearby areas. It is part of the standard protective measures for clients undergoing internal radiation therapy.
