Question 19 :

A client is scheduled for an oral cholecystogram (OCG) to assess for cholelithiasis. The client asks the nurse about the procedure. Which response by the nurse is appropriate?

A "The test involves inserting a scope through your mouth to visualize the gallbladder."

Describing an endoscopy procedure, which is not involved in an oral cholecystogram, is not accurate.

B "The procedure uses X-rays to assess your gallbladder after you swallow a contrast dye."

This statement is correct. An oral cholecystogram (OCG) is a radiologic imaging test that involves swallowing a contrast dye, which outlines the gallbladder and bile ducts, allowing X-rays to visualize the presence of gallstones.

C "A small sample of your gallbladder tissue will be removed for examination."

Removing a sample of the gallbladder tissue for examination would be a biopsy, not an oral cholecystogram.

D "The test involves a radioactive tracer injection to evaluate your gallbladder function."

A radioactive tracer injection is used in hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan, not an oral cholecystogram.
