    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.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    For sealed radiation implants (brachytherapy), radiation safety measures include: keeping the room door closed to contain radiation; limiting visitors to 30 minutes per day total to minimize exposure; wearing a lead apron and dosimeter when providing care. Pregnant visitors should not be permitted to visit at all (not just maintain 3 feet distance). The client must be placed in a private room (not semi-private) to prevent radiation exposure to other patients.
