EBRT is usually performed in ambulatory care and does not require hospitalization.The client needs to know to evaluate the skin,especially in the perineal area,for any breakdown,and avoid sunbathing.The technician does not apply new site markings,so the client needs to avoid washing off the markings that indicate the treatment site.
