For this question, the answer is letter D or there are no special precautions to follow except for wearing gloves especially when the nurse will be in contact with the client’s urine. Wearing gloves not only protect the wearer (the nurse in this situation) but also the patient as well.

The nurse will not have to worry about getting infected by any viruses or germs from the client and the patient is also safe from any contaminants from the nurse that can cause changes in his or her findings. A person should always use gloves whenever he or she will touch blood, mucous membranes, and bodily fluid in this case urine for both the nurse and the patient free and safe from passing of germs to each other.

No specific precautions are necessary following a renal scan. Urination into a commode is acceptable without risk from the small amount of radioactive material to be excreted. The nurse wears gloves to maintain body secretion precautions.
