A client is scheduled for an upper GI series, kidney-ureter-bladder ultrasound, and lower GI series on the same day. The nurse should prepare the client for which diagnostic test first?
  1. Upper GI series
  2. Kidney-ureter-bladder ultrasound
  3. Lower GI series
  4. These tests cannot be given all in the same day.
Explanation
Answer: B - If the client is scheduled for all 3 tests on the same day, the nurse should expect the client to have the KUB ultrasound first. The KUB ultrasound is done before any test that involves barium. After the KUB, the client would undergo the upper GI series followed by the lower GI series.
