A patient is scheduled to undergo needle biopsy of the kidney. Which of the following is an important consideration before letting the patient undergo this procedure?
  1. Adequate fasting for at least 8 hours prior to procedure
  2. Establish an IV line for hydration
  3. Monitoring vital signs
  4. Ensure that coagulation studies have been carried out
Explanation
Answer - D - Preparations must be done before the patient undergoes biopsy. The most important is the suspension of anticoagulant medications at least one week before the procedure. Anticoagulant studies should be carried out at least two weeks before the procedure. IV line, vital signs, and fasting are also important preparations, but ensuring that coagulation studies are normal is more significant.
