Bone Marrow Aspiration

Bone Marrow Aspiration ( 35 Questions)

The healthcare provider is explaining the bone marrow aspiration procedure to a patient. Which statement by the patient indicates an understanding of the procedure?



Correct Answer: A

Bone marrow aspiration involves the insertion of a needle into the bone marrow space to collect a small sample of bone marrow for examination. This statement accurately describes the procedure.

b. This choice is incorrect because bone marrow aspiration is not performed by inserting a needle into the joint. It is done by inserting a needle into the bone marrow cavity.

c. This choice is incorrect because bone marrow aspiration is not done to evaluate lung function. It is used to evaluate the production of blood cells and diagnose various blood disorders.

d. This choice is incorrect because bone marrow aspiration may cause discomfort or mild pain, so local anesthetics are often used to numb the area before the procedure.
