The matrix element of a bound electron interacting with the nucleus through exchange of a Z boson is studied for the gauge-invariant case of 2s{sub 1/2}-2p{sub 1/2} transitions in hydrogenic ions. The QED radiative correction to the matrix element, which is -{alpha}/2{pi} in lowest order, is calculated to all orders in Z{alpha} using exact propagators. Previous calculations of the first-order binding correction are confirmed both analytically and by fitting the exact function at low Z. Consequences for the interpretation of parity nonconservation in cesium are discussed.
