A nurse is caring for a female client who has recurrent kidney stones and is scheduled for an intravenous pyelogram. Which of the following statements by the client should the nurse report to the provider?

Choice A rationale Painful, red-tinged voiding, known as hematuria and dysuria, is highly suggestive of an active urinary tract infection or irritation from passing a kidney stone, which are common issues for this client population. While this finding should be reported for further management, it is not a direct contraindication to an intravenous pyelogram (IVP) itself, unlike an allergy to contrast dye. Choice B rationale Maintaining a high fluid intake of at least two quarts daily is a standard recommendation for preventing the recurrence of kidney stones by promoting stone passage and reducing urinary solute concentration. This client statement indicates compliance with a key preventative measure and is a beneficial, expected finding that does not need to be reported as an adverse concern. Choice C rationale The fact that the client's menstrual period ended two days ago is important to note, but it generally does not pose a direct contraindication to performing an IVP. The primary concern regarding pregnancy is addressed by confirming the client is not currently pregnant, which is standard procedure before administering radiopaque contrast. Choice D rationale Shellfish allergy is a critical concern because the iodine-based contrast medium used in an IVP is chemically similar to compounds found in shellfish, indicating a high risk of cross-reactivity and severe allergic response. Anaphylaxis is a major complication, so this allergy history must be immediately reported to the provider before the procedure.
