Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4

Answer to Question 2

C
Certain radiologic tests will require a contrast medium that could interfere with other diagnostic studies. Barium and iodine are commonly used contrast media. Laboratory blood samples measuring the thyroid function should be drawn before an intravenous pyelogram where radioactive iodine dye is administered. If the patient needs both an IVP and barium enema, the IVP is done first because the barium is likely to decrease the visualization of the kidneys.
