A nurse is following protocol for preventing puncture injuries. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

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. Encouraging the parents to suppress their grief can be detrimental to their emotional well- being and may inhibit healthy grieving processes.
B. Avoiding discussing the funeral when the child is around may create confusion and anxiety for the child, who may sense that something significant is happening but is excluded from the discussion.
C. Including the child in the funeral service before visitors arrive allows the child to be part of the grieving process and provides an opportunity for closure and understanding of the sibling's death in a supportive environment.
D. While it is important for parents to understand how school-age children perceive death, this statement does not offer guidance on how to support the child during the grieving process.
