Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Workers handling radioactive materials must use shielding (gloves, aprons, face shields), maximize distance to source, and limit time of exposure. Containers should also be held using tongs or tweezers to maximize distance of source to worker. Finger dosimeters should be worn to monitor exposure. All materials must be stored separately from food and drink and in a separate locked room. Care should be taken to prevent exposure through cuts, including from glassware, and from patients excreting radioactive materials. Workers must also prevent contamination of the patient environment from radioactive materials.
