A pregnant nurse is assigned to a patient undergoing internal radiation therapy for thyroid cancer. As a precaution, the nurse should
 
  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

An instructor explains precautions that nurses can take when dealing with the possibility of exposure to blood and bodily fluids. The instructor identifies that additional guidance is needed when a student says:
 
  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.
