A nurse is assisting with the care of a client following a left femoral cardiac angiography. The nurse should place a sandbag on the client over which of the following areas?

Right groin area

Left Groin area

Right ankle

Left ankle

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. The right groin area is not the site of the procedure, so placing a sandbag here would not help control bleeding or pressure.
B. The sandbag should be placed over the left groin area where the femoral artery was accessed during the angiography. This helps apply pressure to prevent bleeding from the site and promote clot formation.
C. The right ankle is irrelevant to the procedure and would not require pressure.
D. Similarly, the left ankle has no relation to the femoral angiography site.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Computerized tomography angiography (CTA) is commonly used to visualize blood vessels and identify any blockages or abnormalities in blood flow that may have contributed to a TIA.
B. While a complete blood count (CBC) may be ordered as part of the general assessment, it is not specific for diagnosing TIA and does not provide information on cerebrovascular issues.
C. A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is used to assess cardiac function and may be indicated in some stroke cases, but it is not the primary diagnostic test for TIA.
D. Prothrombin time (PT) assesses clotting function but is not specific for diagnosing TIA; it may be ordered for other reasons but is not a primary diagnostic tool in this context.
