Nurse Alma is preparing a plan of care for a client who will be hospitalized for insertion of an internal cervical radiation implant. Which nursing intervention should the nurse implement in preparation for the arrival of the client?
a. Prepare a private room at the end of the hallway
b. Place a sign on the door that indicates that visitors are limited to 60 minute visits
c. Assign one primary nurse to care for the client during the hospital stay
d. Place a linen bag outside of the client’s room for discarding linens after morning care

Answer A. The client with an internal cervical radiation implant should be placed in a private room at the end of the hall because this location provides less of a chance of exposure of radiation to others.
The client’s room should be marked with appropriate signs that indicate the presence of radiation. Visitors should be limited to 30-minute visits.
Nurses assigned to this client should be rotated so that one nurse is not consistently caring for the client and exposing him or herself to excess amounts of radiation.
All linens should be kept in the client’s room until the implant is removed in case the implant has dislodged and needs to be located.
