Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
The radiation sources must be verified to ensure that all are accounted for before being inserted into the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
For a patient who does not speak the language used in the OR, use nonverbal body language (eye contact, facial expressions, gentle touch); obtain an interpreter. The patient's anxiety can be lessened by using positive body language, and to ensure the patient is adequately informed of the procedure, an interpreter is used to share information with the patient and health care team.
