The nurse is scheduling a hysterosalpingogram test for a patient. When planning the test, which information from the patient's history will the nurse need?
1. the date of the patient's LMP
2. the number of past pregnancies the patient has had
3. the type of contraceptive being used by the patient and her partner
4. the patient's age at menarche
Correct Answer: 1
The hysterosalpingogram is performed to assess the uterus and fallopian tubes for abnormalities. The test is performed on days 7 to 9 after the menstrual period. Knowledge of the patient's last menstrual period (LMP) will be useful when planning the test. The test is often used as a diagnostic test for patients experiencing infertility, but the number of past pregnancies, contraceptive being used, and age at menarche are not relevant to scheduling the test.
