The emergency response team is dealing with a radiation leak at the hospital. What action should be performed to prevent the spread of the contaminants?
A) Floors must be scrubbed with undiluted bleach.
B) Waste must be promptly incinerated.
C) The ventilation system should be deactivated.
D) Air ducts and vents should be sealed.
Ans: D
Feedback:
All air ducts and vents must be sealed to prevent spread. Waste is controlled through double-bagging and the use of plastic-lined containers outside of the facility rather than incineration. Bleach would be ineffective against radiation and the ventilation system may or may not be deactivated.
