Answer to Question 1

B
When a patient has an abdominal scan, labs should be assessed for kidney function. The patient should be instructed to be NPO for 4 hours before the examination if contrast medium is to be used. The patient should be assessed for allergies to dye or shellfish. The patient should be encouraged to consume fluids after the examination.

Answer to Question 2

C
Jargon is terminology unique to people in a special type of work and is not understood by everyone. Although jargon does speed communication and is clear to those who know it, it may be misinterpreted and not understood by all people.
