Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"They are going to examine my gallbladder and ducts."
Rationale:
💎 Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic and sometimes therapeutic procedure used to visualize and treat conditions of the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreatic ducts.
💎 It involves passing an endoscope through the mouth, esophagus, and stomach into the duodenum, where dye is injected into the biliary and pancreatic ducts for imaging via fluoroscopy.
💎 The main goal is to examine, remove stones, or place stents if there’s obstruction from gallstones or strictures.
💎 The procedure does not use shock waves (that’s lithotripsy) or dissolve stones with medication.
💎 Understanding the purpose helps reduce anxiety and ensures the client’s informed participation in care.
