Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2

Answer to Question 2

A
Precautions need to be taken to ensure patient safety, particularly the elderly. It is essential during history taking that the patient be questioned about the possibility of pregnancy, asthma, and allergic reactions to contrast media or iodine as well as to other food and drugs. If the patient has never received iodine, this should be noted on the requisition.Careful ly monitor patients who are scheduled for dye injection studies when they have a history of allergies to any foods or drugs, particularly fish or iodine, because this condition may predispose them to allergic reactions to contrast media.
