A client is to undergo endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Before the procedure, what client education should the nurse provide?
A) Procedure will be done under general anesthesia.
B) Fullness and pressure may be felt in the stomach.
C) Endoscopic tube may hinder normal breathing.
D) Procedure will take 2 to 3 hours.
B
Feedback:
The nurse should tell the client that fullness and pressure might be felt in the stomach. This is because air is instilled into the stomach to expand it completely so that the entire interior surface can be visualized. General anesthesia is not used. Instead, conscious sedation is used. This allows introduction and manipulation of the endoscope, yet the client is relaxed and can respond. The client should be informed that the endoscopic tube will not hinder normal breathing. The procedure usually takes 15 minutes to 1 hour, not 2 to 3 hours.
