A. Prohibiting visitors is not necessary for clients with sealed internal radiation implants. Visitors should be allowed unless specific restrictions are required based on the type of radiation therapy.

C. There is no need to maintain the client on bed rest for 72 hours after receiving a sealed

internal radiation device. The client should be encouraged to ambulate and perform activities of daily living as tolerated.
