A. Discard the radioactive device in the client's trash can. B. Keep soiled bed linens in the client's room. C. Instruct visitors to remain 3 feet from the client. D. Limit time for visitors to 2 hr per day.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

D. Limiting the time that visitors spend with the client is a reasonable precaution to reduce their overall radiation exposure. Prolonged exposure to radiation can increase the risk of adverse effects. By limiting visitors to a specific time frame, the nurse can help control their exposure while still allowing for social support and companionship.
A. Discarding radioactive materials in regular trash cans can pose significant risks to sanitation workers, the environment, and public health.
B. Proper disposal of soiled linens contaminated with radioactive materials is essential to prevent radiation exposure to others. Soiled linens should be handled and disposed of according to institutional protocols for managing radioactive waste.
C. Maintaining a safe distance from the client is an important radiation safety precaution. However, this alone may not be sufficient to ensure adequate protection, depending on the specific circumstances of the treatment and the level of radiation emitted by the sources.
