Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The priority action for the nurse is to determine if the client has any allergies, due to the risk of reaction to the contrast media. All of the other actions are to be performed in preparation for the diagnostic test, but none is as important as establishing the client's allergies.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Although all of these are among the nurse's roles, the most important role of the nurse when performing a biopsy or aspiration is assessment of the client before, during, and after the procedure, and responding to problems that might arise.
