A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving a prescribed dose of internal radiation therapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to perform?

A. Ensure the door to the client's room remains open: The door should be kept closed to minimize exposure to radiation. Keeping the door open increases the risk of radiation exposure to others in the area. B. Wear sterile gloves during patient care: Sterile gloves are not required for care during internal radiation therapy unless there is direct contact with bodily fluids or radioactive materials. Standard precautions are sufficient. C. Wear a lead apron when providing client care: A lead apron is recommended for healthcare workers to protect themselves from radiation exposure during internal radiation therapy. The lead apron absorbs radiation and helps reduce the risk of harmful exposure. D. Place a dosimeter on the client's gown: The dosimeter is typically worn by healthcare workers to measure radiation exposure, not the client. The client would not wear a dosimeter in this situation.
