NCLEX-RN Complete Prep Course — Lesson 84: Diagnostic Tests and Procedures: Pre- and Post-Procedure Nursing Care

Sarah Mitchell covers the nursing care around common diagnostic tests, including the shellfish and iodine myth, holding metformin for 48 hours after contrast, MRI metal screening, cardiac catheterization site and pulse checks, gag reflex return after bronchoscopy and endoscopy, bowel prep and barium care, and positioning and complications for lumbar puncture, paracentesis, thoracentesis, liver biopsy, and bone marrow biopsy. She closes with consent, time outs, and moderate sedation monitoring, plus a retroperitoneal bleed scenario and a post bronchoscopy scenario.
