Assessment of a Patient Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client is scheduled for an arteriogram using a radiopaque dye. What is the most important information the nurse should determine before the procedure to assure the client's safety?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Allergy to iodine or seafood is associated with allergy to the radiopaque dye that is used for medical imaging examinations. Informed consent is necessary because an arteriogram requires the injection of a radiopaque dye into the blood vessel. Although the remaining options are components of the preprocedure assessment, the risks of allergic reaction and possible anaphylaxis are the most critical to the client's safety.
