A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is scheduled to have a colonoscopy. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
reason: This is an accurate information because moderate sedation, also known as conscious sedation, is a type of anesthesia that reduces anxiety and pain during the colonoscopy without causing loss of consciousness. The nurse should inform the client that they will need someone to drive them home after the procedure and that they may experience some drowsiness, nausea, or sore throat.
reason: This is not an accurate information because the client should drink only clear liquids, such as water, tea, broth, or juice, until 4 hours before the procedure. Full liquids, such as milk, cream, or soup, can interfere with the bowel preparation and obscure the visibility of the colon.
reason: This is not an accurate information because the client should drink the liquid bowel preparation as prescribed by the provider, usually cold or at room temperature. Warming the liquid bowel preparation may alter its effectiveness and taste.
reason: This is not an accurate information because the client will lie on their left side for the procedure, not on their right side. Lying on the left side allows better access and visualization of the colon by the endoscope.
