The nurse teaches a client about an upcoming endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure. The nurse determines that the client has a need for further teaching if the client makes which statement?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Intravenous sedation (not oral) is given to relax the client, and an anesthetic throat spray is used to help keep the client from gagging as the endoscope is passed. The client has to sign an informed consent form. The client also needs to lie still for ERCP, which takes about an hour to perform.
