The nurse is caring for the client with a suspected DVT. For which diagnostic test should the nurse anticipate the client will need to be prepared?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The nurse should anticipate preparing the client for a venogram, which allows visualization of veins and is used to diagnose a DVT. V/Q scans diagnose PE, arteriograms visualize arteries, and embolectomy is a treatment, not a diagnostic test.
