Bone Marrow Aspiration

Bone Marrow Aspiration ( 35 Questions)

The nurse is preparing a patient for a bone marrow aspiration. Which action is essential in the pre-procedure care?



Correct Answer: B

Obtaining informed consent from the patient is an essential pre-procedure action. It ensures that the patient is aware of the procedure, its risks, benefits, and alternatives, and gives their voluntary permission for the bone marrow aspiration.

a. Administering intravenous antibiotics is not typically part of the pre-procedure care for bone marrow aspiration. Antibiotics are usually administered if there is a risk of infection, but it is not a routine pre-procedure action.

c. Providing a high-calorie meal before the procedure is not necessary for bone marrow aspiration. In fact, patients may be advised to have a light meal or be NPO (nothing by mouth) for a certain period before the procedure.

d. Restricting fluid intake for 8 hours before the procedure is not recommended for bone marrow aspiration. Patients are usually advised to maintain adequate hydration before the procedure.
