Answer to Question 1

interdisciplinary

An interdisciplinary care plan involves all members of the health care team and is based on the medical diagnosis rather than a problem statement/nursing diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
During a PET scan, radioactive material is given through an intravenous (IV) line and provides differing color in areas of cellular activity. A consent form is required because this is an invasive test, and tranquilizers and sedatives should be avoided because this PET scan is of brain activity. The test requires insertion of two IVs. Obviously, special preparation is indicated, and the patient should empty his bladder before the test begins.
