Practice Question

A nurse is reinforcing instructions with a client who is scheduled for a cardiac catheterization with angiography. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the instructions?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

"You might have to lie in bed for 6 hr after the procedure.”

Rationale:

❤️Post–cardiac catheterization (femoral access), supine bedrest with the affected leg straight reduces risk of bleeding or hematoma at the arterial puncture site.

❤️Nurses perform frequent checks of distal pulses, site inspection, and hemodynamic status to detect early complications.

❤️The 6-hour interval reflects time needed for hemostasis, particularly after larger sheaths or anticoagulation exposure.

❤️Patient education includes avoiding hip flexion, vigorous coughing/straining, and heavy lifting initially.

❤️For radial access, ambulation is earlier, but principles of site monitoring and bleeding prevention still apply.
