    A nurse is caring for a client in the oncology unit. Exhibits The nurse should educate the client that diagnostic imaging techniques used for assessing pancreatic ducts include Target 1, Target 2 and Target 3

    Explanation & Rationale

    Correct Answers: The nurse should educate the client that diagnostic imaging techniques used for assessing pancreatic ducts include Ultrasound, MRCP, and CT scan. Rationale: Ultrasound is commonly used as an initial noninvasive imaging tool for detecting pancreatic abnormalities. MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography) is a specialized MRI technique that provides detailed images of the pancreatic and biliary ducts. CT scan provides cross-sectional imaging of the pancreas and can identify masses or ductal obstruction. Biopsy is diagnostic but not considered an imaging technique. HIDA scan assesses gallbladder function, not pancreatic ducts. X-ray is not effective for direct pancreatic duct imaging.
