Aneurysm and peripheral vascular disorder

Aneurysm and peripheral vascular disorder ( 34 Questions)

A nurse is preparing a client for a cerebral angiography. What important information should the nurse provide to the client?


Correct Answer: A

A) Correct - Fasting for at least 8 hours before cerebral angiography is essential to reduce the risk of aspiration during the procedure, as it involves the injection of contrast dye.

B) Incorrect - Chest pain is not a normal sensation during cerebral angiography. If chest pain occurs during the test, the client should inform the healthcare team immediately.

C) Incorrect - While some procedures, like angioplasty, require lying flat for several hours to prevent bleeding, cerebral angiography does not typically require this position after the test.

D) Incorrect - It is essential to stay hydrated after cerebral angiography to help flush out the contrast dye from the system. The client should be encouraged to drink fluids, unless contraindicated for another reason.
