Question 1 of 5
The nurse has obtained assessment data for a client who is scheduled for a cardiac angiogram (catheterization). Which information must the nurse report to the health care provider prior to the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Client has multiple food allergies. This information must be reported to the health care provider prior to the cardiac angiogram to prevent any potential allergic reactions during the procedure. Food allergies can lead to serious complications, especially if the client needs sedation or contrast dye during the angiogram. Reporting this ensures proper precautions are taken.
Incorrect choices:
A: Pedal pulses are +1 bilaterally - This information is not directly relevant to a cardiac angiogram procedure.
C: Admission blood pressure is 110/70 - While blood pressure is important, this specific reading is within normal range and may not require immediate attention.
D: Client is slightly anxious - Anxiety is common before procedures and may not directly impact the safety of the angiogram.
