Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assess the patient for a possible delayed reaction to iodine dye,seen as dyspnea,hives,tachycardia,and rash.This reaction occurs up to 6 hours after injection of dye.Thirst,by itself,is not a major warning sign of reaction to the dye.Pallor,by itself,is not a major warning sign of reaction to the dye.A patient's report of any feelings of pain,dyspnea,numbness or tingling,or other untoward symptoms may indicate cardiac complications or procedure site complications,but not a reaction to the dye.
