Question

A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving brachytherapy. Which of the following measures should the nurse include in the client’s plan of care?

Answer 1

Answer:

Keeping the door closed.

Explanation:

Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy during which the radiation source is in direct contact with the client's tumor. During the therapy, the client emits radiation and is potentially hazardous to others. The clients should be in a private room with a private bathroom, and the nurse should keep the door to the client's room closed.
