Which of the following must the nurse ask about when preparing to use Hypaque for arteriography?

Does the patient have high blood pressure?
Is the patient allergic to shellfish?
Does the patient have anxiety?
What is the patient’s ethnic background?

Explanation

Answer: B-The nurse should ask if the patient is allergic to shellfish. An allergy to shellfish may indicate sensitivity to iodine, which is one of the components of Hypaque. This solution is used as a contrast medium for exams such as arteriography. The nurse should assess for iodine sensitivity before administering the contrast to avoid any allergic reactions.
