Question 1 of 1
1. Question
The client is hospitalized for insertion of an internal cervical radiation implant. While giving care, the nurse finds the radiation implant in the bed. The initial action by the nurse is to:
Correct
Answer & Rationale.
Option 4 is correct
Rationale: A lead container and long-handled forceps should be kept in the client’s room at all times during internal radiation therapy. If the implant becomes dislodged, the nurse should pick up the implant with long-handled forceps and place it in the lead container. Options 1, 2, and 3 are inaccurate interventions.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination and note the strategic word initial in the question. Option 2 is not an appropriate action. Eliminate option 3 next because the implant would not be discarded. Although the physician would be notified, the initial action is option 4. Review the initial measures related to a dislodged radiation implant if you had difficulty with this question.
