woman may visit
- visitors stay at 6ft distance; limited to 30min
- PPE: lead apron, dosimeter
- Patient wastes are highly radioactive
Radiation: Teletherapy - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔External beam radiation delivered
from outside the body to the tumor.
Teletherapy Side Effects: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔- fatigue
- skin irritation and sensitivity at treatment area
- GI alterations, malnutrition
- Infection risk due to suppressed immunity
- Increased risk for falls and syncope!
Nursing Interventions for Radioation! - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔- monitor pain levels,
