Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client who has undergone a radionuclide study may emit radiation and the nurse should notify the radiation safety officer to take necessary precautions to avoid exposure to other individuals. Lead gloves are not necessary in this situation and laundry personnel may need to take specific actions as directed by the radiation safety officer. Doing nothing is not an appropriate response.
