A client with bipolar disorder, mania, states, "I had a test to look at my ventricles before I came in." The nurse thinks it most likely was a/an:
1. Electroencephalography (EEG).
2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
3. Polysomnography.
4. Single photon-emission computed tomography.
2
Rationale: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is correct because it will image the ventricles. Electroencephalography (EEG) measures the electrical activity of the brain. Single photon-emission computed tomography images the neuroreceptors. Polysomnography measures the electrical activity of the brain while sleeping throughout the night.
