Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A A cystoscopy involves direct visualization. Because no contrast dye is used, the nurse does not need to ask if the patient is allergic to iodine.
B A signed consent form is obtained.
C Fluids are not restricted before or after the procedure. The flushing action helps remove bacteria from the urethra.
D Although this procedure can be accomplished by using local anaesthesia, it is more commonly performed by using general anaesthesia or conscious sedation to avoid unnecessary anxiety and trauma for the patient.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
