Nurses play a pivotal role in the CT scan process. Their responsibilities include:
1. Patient Preparation: Educating and preparing patients for the procedure, which may include fasting or drinking a contrast solution. 2. Ensuring Safety: Verifying that the patient has no contraindications, such as allergies to contrast media or pregnancy. 3. Monitoring: Observing the patient for any adverse reactions during and after the procedure. 4. Aftercare: Providing post-scan care, such as ensuring hydration to help flush out contrast materials.
