How Can Nurses Prepare Patients for Radiologic Procedures?
Preparing patients for radiologic procedures involves several key steps. Nurses should provide clear instructions on how to prepare for the examination, such as fasting if required, removing metal objects, and wearing appropriate clothing. It is also important to explain the procedure, its purpose, and any sensations the patient might experience. By addressing patient concerns and answering questions, nurses can help alleviate anxiety and ensure a smooth imaging process.
