Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Allergy to iodine and seafood is correct because a CT scan of the kidneys requires the injection of a radiopaque dye that contains iodine. A patient who is allergic to iodine or seafood will be unable to have this test. Urinary output of 1,200 mL in 24 hours, last bowel movement one day ago, and height 5'8 and weight 160 pounds are all normal findings and do not require that the physician be notified.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Inspection should be completed first. Auscultating after palpation may increase bowel motility and interfere with sound transmission during auscultation. Palpation should be completed last.
