Question 1 of 5
Prior to a dipyridamole thallium scan, what substance should the LPN/LVN ensure the client has not consumed?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Caffeine should be avoided before a dipyridamole thallium scan as it can interfere with the test results. Caffeine is a stimulant that can affect the heart rate and may lead to inaccurate findings during the scan. Therefore, it is essential for the LPN/LVN to check and ensure that the client has not consumed caffeine prior to the procedure to obtain accurate diagnostic results.
