system.

complications. Which of the following complications should the nurse identify
as causing the greatest risk to the client?
A. Infection
B. Hemorrhage
C. Hematuria
D. Pain - -A. The client is at risk for infection of the kidney because a biopsy

hemorrhage due to a lack of clotting at the puncture site. The nurse should
report this finding to the provider immediately.
C. The client is at risk for hematuria, which is a common complication the
first 48 to 72 hr after the biopsy. However, another complication is the
priority. D. The client is at risk for pain after a kidney biopsy because blood in
and around the kidney causes pressure on the nerves in the area; however,
another complication is the priority.

B. Withhold metformin for 24 hr.

the contrast dye with iodine they will receive during the procedure.
C. CORRECT: Clients should receive an enema to remove fecal contents,
fluid, and gas from the colon for a more clear visualization.
D. A serum coagulation profile is essential for a client prior to a kidney biopsy
because of the risk of hemorrhage from the procedure.
E. CORRECT: Clients who have asthma have a higher risk of an exacerbation
as an allergic response to the contrast dye they will receive during the
procedure.

following actions should the nurse take?
A. Assess for hypertension.
B. Limit the client's fluid intake.
C. Monitor for orthostatic hypotension.

medication. Assess the client for hypotensive effects.
B. Increasing the client's fluid intake can help resolve hypotensive effects
following the administration of captopril.

this is an adverse effect of captopril. This results in a change in blood flow to
