Correct Answer is A

Explanation

This statement indicates that the nurse understands the importance of limiting the exposure of family members to radiation from the sealed implant.
Choice B is incorrect because the dosimeter badge should not be given to the oncoming nurse at the end of the shift.
The dosimeter badge is used to measure an individual’s exposure to radiation and should be worn by the same person throughout their shift.
Choice C is incorrect because if the client’s implant dislodges, the nurse should not touch it with their hands, even if they are wearing gloves.
The nurse should follow the facility’s protocol for handling dislodged implants.
Choice D is incorrect because soiled linens from a client with a sealed radiation implant do not need to be removed from the room after each change.
The linens can be handled according to standard precautions.
