A client is scheduled for a renal angiography. Which of the following would be appropriate before the test?
A) Monitor the client for signs of electrolyte and water imbalance.
B) Monitor the client for an allergy to iodine contrast material.
C) Assess the client's mental changes.
D) Evaluate the client for periorbital edema.
B
Feedback:
A renal angiography procedure will be contraindicated if the client is allergic to iodine contrast material. Therefore, it is important for the nurse to monitor the client for an allergy to iodine contrast material. The nurse monitors the client for the signs of electrolyte and water imbalance, mental changes, and periorbital edema at any time regardless of the test being done.
