  1. Wear a film badge.
  2. Limit her amount of time around the patient.
  3. Wear a lead apron when near the patient.
  4. Request an alternative assignment.

Question 2

  1. I always place my used needles into a puncture-proof, labeled container.
  2. I always recap my used needles before disposing of them.
  3. I always wash my hands before and after patient contact.
  4. I always wear gloves if there is a chance for exposure to bodily fluids.
