Hemorrhage

Hemorrhage ( 40 Questions)

A nurse is caring for a client with suspected hemorrhage. Which diagnostic test should the nurse anticipate to identify the exact location and cause of bleeding?


Correct Answer: A

A) Correct. Arteriography is a radiographic procedure that uses contrast dye to visualize the blood vessels and can precisely identify the location and cause of bleeding, especially in cases of significant hemorrhage.

B) Incorrect. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is used to assess the heart's electrical activity and is not relevant to identifying the location of bleeding.

C) Incorrect. A chest X-ray may be performed for various respiratory or cardiovascular assessments, but it is not specific to identifying the cause of bleeding.

D) Incorrect. A complete blood count (CBC) provides valuable information about the client's red blood cells and hemoglobin levels but does not directly identify the exact location and cause of bleeding.
