The nurse is preparing the client for diagnostic testing using contrast media. The client is questioned regarding allergies. The nurse would contact the health care provider if the client reported an allergy to which item?
1. Eggs
2. Milk
3. Betadine
4. Scallops
Correct Answer: 3
Betadine, like contrast media, is an iodine-containing compound, so the primary care provider should be notified due to the risk of administering contrast to this client. The other allergies have no impact on the procedure, and the primary care provider would not need to be notified.
