Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B,C

Correct Answers:
The nurse should educate the client that diagnostic imaging techniques used for assessing pancreatic ducts include Ultrasound, MRCP, and CT scan.

Rationale:

  • Ultrasound is commonly used as an initial noninvasive imaging tool for detecting pancreatic abnormalities.
  • MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography) is a specialized MRI technique that provides detailed images of the pancreatic and biliary ducts.
  • CT scan provides cross-sectional imaging of the pancreas and can identify masses or ductal obstruction.
  • Biopsy is diagnostic but not considered an imaging technique.
  • HIDA scan assesses gallbladder function, not pancreatic ducts.
  • X-ray is not effective for direct pancreatic duct imaging.
