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?

Assist the client with a bowel cleansing.

Monitor the client for pain in the suprapubic region.

Ensure the client is free of metal objects.

Administer 240 mL (8 oz) of oral contrast before the procedure.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Answer: The correct answer is choice c. Ensure the client is free of metal objects.

Here's the rationale for each choice:

Choice A: Rationale: Bowel cleansing is not routinely performed before an intravenous pyelogram (IVP) unless there is a specific concern about fecal matter obscuring the urinary tract on the X-rays.
Choice B: Rationale: While pain in the suprapubic region (lower abdomen) is not a common side effect of an IVP, the nurse should be aware of this possibility and assess the client for any discomfort. However, monitoring for pain is not a specific action to include in preparation for the procedure.
Choice C: Rationale: Metal objects can interfere with the X-ray images during an IVP. Ensuring the client removes any jewelry or clothing with metal fasteners is an important step in preparation.
Choice D: Rationale: Oral contrast is not typically used in an IVP. The contrast material for this procedure is administered intravenously.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

“Potassium 5.8 mEq/L” should be reported to the provider because it is higher than the normal range for potassium levels in the blood.
Normal potassium levels range from.6 to 5.2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L)1.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because sodium levels of 140 mEq/L, and magnesium levels of.9 mEq/L and calcium levels of 9.6 mg/dL are all within normal ranges and do not need to be reported to the provider.

A. The client has a prescription for metoprolol. B. The client is allergic to penicillin. C. The client has an implanted defibrillator. D. The client has a history of alcohol use disorder.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

This is a contraindication for receiving magnet therapy for pain relief because the magnetic field generated by the therapy can interfere with the functioning of the implanted defibrillator.
Choice A is wrong because having a prescription for metoprolol is not a contraindication for receiving magnet therapy for pain relief.
Choice B is wrong because being allergic to penicillin is not a contraindication for receiving magnet therapy for pain relief.
Choice D is wrong because having a history of alcohol use disorder is not a contraindication for receiving magnet therapy for pain relief.
