Question 2 of 5
A client is having a myologgraphy. What action by the nurse is most important?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The diagnostic procedure is invasive and requires informed consent. The AST does not need to be assessed prior to the procedure. The client is positioned with the head of the bed elevated after the test to keep the contrast material out of the brain. The dressing should not become saturated; if it does, the nurse calls the provider.
