NCLEX PN Practice Tests Practice Question
Because an adult is scheduled for a cystoscopy, the nurse should plan to do which of the following immediately prior to the procedure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cystoscopy involves the use of a contrast dye, which may contain shellfish-derived components. Therefore, inquiring about allergies to shellfish is crucial to prevent an allergic reaction during the procedure.
Keeping the client NPO for eight hours (Option A) is not typically required for cystoscopy, as it is often performed under local anesthesia. Asking about claustrophobia (Option B) is less relevant, as the procedure does not involve closed spaces. Encouraging fluids (Option D) is not appropriate immediately before the procedure, as it may interfere with the use of contrast dye or the procedure itself.
