Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is scheduled for an intravenous pyelogram. Which of the following actions is appropriate for the nurse to include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ensure the client is free of metal objects. This is important because metal objects can interfere with the imaging process during the intravenous pyelogram. Metal objects can cause artifacts on the images, leading to inaccurate results. It is crucial for the nurse to ensure the client removes all metal objects such as jewelry, piercings, or clothing with metal components before the procedure to obtain clear and accurate imaging results.
Summary of incorrect choices:
B: Monitoring the client for pain in the suprapubic region is not directly related to preparing for an intravenous pyelogram.
C: Assisting the client with a bowel cleansing is not necessary for an intravenous pyelogram procedure.
D: Administering oral contrast is not part of the preparation for an intravenous pyelogram.
