    ATI n200 Pharmacology Proctored Exam

    The client, who is scheduled for a nuclear stress test, tells the nurse that the breakfast tray was not delivered and complains of hunger. Which of the following statements represent the nurse's best response?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Food may interact with the dye that is used for the test: While this might be true, it doesn’t directly address the situation of hunger and could confuse the client. B. I will ask the health care provider if the test can be rescheduled: This may not be necessary if the client can still undergo the test as scheduled despite their hunger. C. The procedure is usually completed on an empty stomach: This response provides the client with important information about why they should not eat before the test, which is likely due to the need for accurate results from the nuclear stress test. D. I will call dietary to bring you breakfast: This could interfere with the test and does not address the client's current need for information.
