A nurse is caring for a client who is requesting treatment for a gambling disorder. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect the provider to prescribe?

A. Visitors are not completely prohibited, but their time should be limited and precautions followed, especially for children and pregnant individuals. Therefore, banning all visitors for 24 hours is unnecessary and overly restrictive.

B. Maintaining a distance of at least 3 feet from the radiation source helps reduce exposure, following the principle of distance in radiation safety. This is an appropriate and effective protective measure for the nurse.

C. Bed rest is typically required to prevent displacement of the sealed radiation device, but it is not specifically prescribed for a fixed duration like 72 hours. The duration depends on the treatment plan, so this statement is too rigid and not universally correct.

D. Dosimeter badges are worn by healthcare workers to measure occupational exposure, not by clients receiving radiation therapy. Therefore, this action is inappropriate for the client.

A. It would not be appropriate to place the client on restraints as this would increase agitation and he is not violent.

B. The client may have a urinary tract infection (UTI) that is causing fever, hypotension, and confusion. Monitoring elimination can help assess the severity of the infection and the need for antibiotics.

C. Dimming the lights can help reduce sensory overload and agitation in the client.
