HESI RN EXIT 3 PROCTORED EXAM
In providing nursing care for a client after gastric endoscopy, which intervention should the nurse include in the post-procedure plan of care for commonly occurring problems?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Aching leg. Aching leg is not a commonly occurring problem after gastric endoscopy. It may be related to positioning during the procedure or another unrelated issue. B. Nausea. Nausea is a potential side effect of the anesthesia or sedation used during the procedure. However, it is not as commonly occurring as a sore throat after gastric endoscopy. C. Sore throat. Sore throat is a commonly occurring problem after gastric endoscopy due to irritation of the throat by the endoscope. It is often caused by the insertion and manipulation of the scope during the procedure. D. Headache. While headache can occur as a side effect of anesthesia or sedation, it is not as commonly associated with gastric endoscopy as a sore throat.
