A nurse is assessing a client who has a complete heart block and is receiving transcutaneous pacing. Which of the following findings indicates to the nurse that the treatment is effective?

A. Limit each of the client's visitors to 1 hr per day. - This is not necessary specifically due to the presence of the radiation implant. Visitation restrictions should be based on hospital policy and

the client's condition, not solely on the presence of a radiation implant.

B. Remove dirty linens from the room after double bagging. - This is a standard infection control measure and is not specific to caring for a client with a radiation implant.

C. Wear a dosimeter film badge while in the client's room. - Healthcare workers who care for clients with sealed radiation implants should wear dosimeter film badges to monitor their radiation exposure levels.

D. Ensure family members remain at least 1 m (3.2 feet) from the client. - While limiting exposure to radiation is important, maintaining distance alone may not provide adequate

protection. Healthcare workers should follow appropriate safety precautions and use shielding as necessary when caring for clients with radiation implants.

A.

A. Changing clothes after working in the field helps prevent pesticide residue from being transferred to other surfaces and reduces the risk of exposure to pesticides.

B. Applying petroleum jelly to the nostrils is not an effective method for minimizing exposure to pesticides and may not provide significant protection.

C. Wiping fruits and vegetables with a dry cloth may remove some surface dirt but is unlikely to effectively remove pesticide residues, especially if they have been absorbed into the produce.

D. Taking a hot shower after finishing work may help remove pesticide residues from the skin but does not address the potential for exposure from contaminated clothing or other surfaces.
