Passage / Scenario
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving brachytherapy for endometrial cancer.Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Place the client's soiled bed linens in a biohazard bag outside the client's room. This is the correct action to prevent the spread of infection, as soiled linens may contain infectious agents. Keeping visitors 6 feet away (choice A) is related to social distancing, not linens handling. Choice C, wearing an isolation gown, is important but not directly related to handling soiled linens. Discarding a radioactive source in the trash can (choice D) is unsafe and violates radiation safety protocols.
