Feedback:
When a client undergoes a bone marrow aspiration, the nurse assists the physician, supports the client during the procedure, and monitors his or her condition afterward. The client needs to be administered oral radioactive vitamin B12 or a nonradioactive B12 injection in case of the Schilling test, which helps in determining pernicious anemia and macrocytic anemia. Collecting urine for 24 to 48 hours after administering nonradioactive B12 is also applicable to the Schilling test.
