Answer: B - Bronchoscopy is contraindicated in clients with limited extension of the neck. This procedure requires the client to hyperextend the neck to facilitate easy insertion of the scope. Bronchoscopy doesn’t require the injection of dyes; therefore, an allergy to seafood is not a contraindication. The oxygen saturation (89%) and heart rate are within normal range. If the oxygen saturation is too low, proceeding with the bronchoscopy may cause a 10-20mmHG drop in PaO₂, which would require continuous oxygenation during the procedure.
