Answer to Question 1

General guidelines include assigning the patient to a private room; postradiation precaution signage; limiting the amount of time in the room; observing a distance of at least 6 feet from the source when possible; and prohibiting pregnant staff, family, visitors, and children from interacting or visiting with the patient. The other choices would indicate the need for additional instruction and are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

In response to concerns about safety and quality of care voiced by clients and providers, total quality management and continuous quality improvement programs were initiated. These programs ensure society that cost management is not compromising safety or quality. This is what the nurse should respond to the client. The other choices do not address the client's concerns nor do they explain quality management programs.
