CNOR Operating Room Nursing

Answer: C-During a flexible bronchoscopy, the nurse should obtain copies of chest x-rays to have for easy access during the procedure. Having access to x-rays allows the physician to see the anatomical structures and the condition of the patient’s chest. In some situations, such as when a bronchoscopy is used to extract a foreign object, an x-ray is necessary to help visualize the location of the object.
