Answer: B - Abdominal angiography involves visualization of the abdominal vasculature to determine the presence of aneurysms, arterial stenoses, cysts or tumors. To visualize the blood vessels, a contrast dye is injected into the vein; therefore, the nurse should check for history of allergy to dyes and seafood. Enema may be contraindicated in this client due to the unknown cause of abdominal enlargement. This is to avoid further stress on the abdomen. The client may need to fast post-midnight and eat a light and low-residue dinner. Metal objects and jewelries on the abdomen must be removed for better visualization of the abdomen.
