Choice A rationale

Drinking contrast medium is not typically required for an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Contrast media are often used in imaging studies such as CT scans or certain types of X- rays, not for EGD45.

Choice B rationale

Shaving the client from axillae to groin is not necessary for an EGD. This might be required for certain types of surgeries, but an EGD is a non-surgical procedure that involves inserting a flexible tube with a light and camera into the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.

Choice C rationale

Choice D rationale

Administering a cleansing enema is not typically required for an EGD. While bowel preparation, such as using a laxative or enema, might be necessary before some procedures like a colonoscopy, it is not usually needed for an EGD45.

Choice A rationale

Sudden jaw pain can be a symptom of a heart attack. It’s important to seek immediate medical attention if this occurs.

Choice B rationale

While some people may experience hot, dry, and flushed skin during a heart attack, it’s not a common symptom and should not be relied upon as an indicator.
