Jolie is a pharmacy technician who is about to prepare nuclear medicine. She puts on a lead vest and a face mask. Then, she prepares her radiation monitor and enters the lab where the hospital processes blood samples and other tests. She calculates the dosages and dilutions needed to dispense the medications. Which standard is she violating?
Answer
A
She should not wear a lead vest because it interacts with the nuclear material.
B
She only needs to wear goggles; nuclear material will not harm her face.
C
She is using the lab, which is not isolated from other people.
D
She does not need to do calculations; the pharmacist will do that.
Explanation
Nuclear medicine materials should be prepared in a designated area that is separated from routine laboratory work and other people, to limit unnecessary radiation exposure and contamination risk. Jolie enters a lab where blood samples and other tests are processed, so the preparation area is not isolated. The correct choice is “She is using the lab, which is not isolated from other people.”
