Question 1 of 5
During the admission interview, a client who is admitted for a cardiac catheterization says, 'Every time I eat shrimp I get a rash.' What action is essential for the nurse to take at this time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A shrimp allergy may indicate an iodine allergy, as shellfish contain iodine, which is also present in the dye used for cardiac catheterization. Notifying the physician is essential to assess the risk and consider alternative dyes or premedication. Asking about other foods, instructing the dietary department, or teaching about shellfish dangers are secondary actions.
