Question 16 :

A client with suspected cholelithiasis is scheduled for an abdominal ultrasound. The client asks the nurse about the purpose of the test. Which response by the nurse is appropriate?

A "The ultrasound will help assess the blood flow to your liver."

Assessing blood flow to the liver is not the primary purpose of an abdominal ultrasound in a client with suspected cholelithiasis.

B "The test will provide detailed images of your gallbladder and check for gallstones."

This statement is correct. An abdominal ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that provides detailed images of the gallbladder and surrounding structures, helping to visualize the presence of gallstones and assess the gallbladder's condition.

C "The ultrasound will measure the acidity levels in your stomach."

Measuring acidity levels in the stomach is not related to the diagnostic evaluation of cholelithiasis.

D "The test is done to evaluate your kidney function."

Evaluating kidney function is not the primary purpose of an abdominal ultrasound for a client with suspected cholelithiasis.
