A 7-year-old boy is scheduled to receive 3D conformal radiotherapy. The nurse knows that the parents understand the use of this type of radiation therapy when the father states:
 
  1. The standard margins will be targeted so that the tumor shrinks..
   2. This type of radiation is a last resort, so we should start planning for end-of-life care for our son..
   3. The radiation will occur while he is in surgery..
   4. The high doses of radiation will be concentrated on the tumor, and low doses of radiation will be concentrated on the surrounding tissue..
