Following scheduled radioactive iodine therapy in a nuclear medicine department, a nurse is speaking with a client following the client's ingestion of radioactive iodine regarding strategies to avoid radiating the client's family members. The nurse recognizes the need for additional client teaching when the client states:

C I'll travel for a couple of weeks to prevent my family from receiving radiation from me. A I understand the need to avoid sharing food or utensils with others. D I understand the need to flush the toilet with the lid closed two to three times after each use. B My children will miss my hugs and kisses for the next week.
