Answer to Question 1

Bronchography is a radiographic study of the trachea and bronchi following the injection of a contrast agent through a catheter. Before the insertion of the catheter, the patient is given a local anesthetic agent to sedate the gag and swallow reflex. The nurse should assess the patient's gag reflect and keep the patient NPO until it returns.
