A client is scheduled for a multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) scan the following day. What medication should the nurse be sure not to administer the morning of the procedure?
A) Furosemide (Lasix)
B) Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
C) Morphine sulfate
D) Guaifenesin (Mucinex)
A
Feedback:
Diuretics are contraindicated the morning of a test to avoid any interruptions for urination. Clients are also medicated to relieve a cough that may cause movement during the test so administration of Mucinex is not contraindicated. Tylenol and morphine are not contraindicated the morning of the test.
