A nurse is assessing a client who has delirium due to a febrile illness. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Limit each of the client's visitors to 1 hr per day: Visitor restrictions for clients with sealed radiation implants typically focus on limiting cumulative exposure to radiation rather than a strict daily time limit. The exact duration may vary, but monitoring personal exposure is more critical for staff safety.

B. Remove dirty linens from the room after double bagging: For sealed radiation implants, the radioactive source remains contained, and linens are not highly radioactive. Standard precautions are sufficient, so special double-bagging is not required unless the linens are contaminated with bodily fluids.

C. Wear a dosimeter film badge while in the client's room: Staff who care for clients with sealed radiation implants must wear a dosimeter to monitor cumulative radiation exposure. This ensures that occupational safety limits are not exceeded and provides documentation of exposure levels, which is a key safety measure in the plan of care.

D. Ensure family members remain at least 1 m (3.2 feet) from the client: Family members may need limited exposure, but strict distance alone is not sufficient for safety or required for all types of sealed implants. Staff exposure monitoring via dosimeter is more critical, as they spend more time in the room and are at greater risk for cumulative exposure.

A. "My baby should have at least three bowel movements per day after 4 days of age.": This statement reflects correct understanding. By the fourth day of life, a healthy, breastfed newborn typically passes at least three yellow, seedy stools per day, indicating adequate intake and gastrointestinal function.

B. "I should expect my baby to make a grunting sound when breathing": Grunting is a sign of respiratory distress in a newborn and is not expected in a healthy infant. The client should be taught to report any abnormal respiratory sounds immediately.

C. "I should put my baby on a feeding schedule.": Newborns should feed on demand rather than on a strict schedule to ensure adequate nutrition and support breastfeeding. Rigid scheduling can lead to insufficient intake and dehydration.

D. "My baby should sleep for at least 4 hours between feedings during the night.": Newborns typically need to feed every 2–3 hours, including at night. Expecting the infant to sleep for 4 hours between feeds may indicate misunderstanding of normal feeding patterns and could result in inadequate caloric intake.
