Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should ask if the client is allergic to iodine because many dyes contain iodine or similar chemicals. The nurse needs to wear lead shields to protect vital organs if the nurse is accompanying the client to the x-ray unit. The nurse should observe the client for signs of anaphylaxis for about 30 minutes after the test. The nurse does not need to use the mask to protect self when preparing the client for the test.

Answer to Question 2

C
