Prior to undergoing diagnostic testing with contrast, it is recommended that older adult clients have their creatinine level checked. The rationale for this is to ensure the client:
A) Is not allergic to shell fish or iodine
B) Will not undergo an acute kidney injury by decreasing renal blood flow
C) Does not have a kidney stone obstructing the urethra
D) Is in good enough health to withstand a walking on a treadmill
Ans: B
Feedback:
Some drugs, such as diuretics, high molecular weight radiocontrast media, the immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporine and tacrolimus, and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can cause acute kidney injury by decreasing renal blood flow. Checking creatinine levels do not predict the client's allergies, a kidney stone, or tolerance for stress testing.
