The nurse has been asked to aid in diagnostic testing for transient monoarticular synovitis. The nurse prepares the supplies for the procedure because she knows that the child will:
1. Need to have X-rays performed.
2. Need to have blood drawn for an ESR.
3. Need to be sedated for a spinal tap.
4. Need to have a cardiac monitor during the procedure.

Feedback
1. X-rays are not used as diagnostics for this diagnosis.
2. An ESR is the main diagnostic test for monoarticular synovitis because it measures inflammation.
3. A spinal tap is more invasive for a first line of diagnostics tests for this disease process.
4. This disease does not affect the heart, so a cardiac monitor is not required.
