When assessing venous disease in the lower extremities, the nurse knows that what test will most likely be ordered?
A) Duplex Ultrasonography
B) CW Doppler
C) CT
D) MRA
Ans: A
Feedback: The procedure primarily helps determine the level and extent of venous disease. CW Doppler testing is used to diagnose peripheral arterial occlusive disease. A CT provides cross-sectional images of soft tissue and visualizes the area of volume changes to an extremity and the compartment where changes take place. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is performed with a standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner and special software programmed to isolate the blood vessels. The resulting images resemble a standard angiogram, but the images can be rotated and viewed from multiple angles.
