The nurse should notify the health care provider about Client with a history of stroke who has dysphagia and is drooling.

<h3>Why is an oral contrast performed?</h3>
  • Oral contrast increases the visibility and helps in detailed analysis of the Gastrointestinal (GI) structures on CT scan.
  • Computed Tomography (CT) scan is a test that combines X-rays and computer scans.
  • Oral contrast helps to opacify the bowel and helps to get better images of the abdomen for diagnosis.
  • It makes specific organs to stand out (GI tract) thus for better detection of a disease or an injury.
  • Commonly used contrast agents in CT imaging are based on barium and iodine.
  • Therefore, the nurse should check first if a patient has iodine allergy.
  • Also the nurse should check if any patient has difficulty in swallowing the contrast or his own drool (Dysphagia) as it can be the symptom of a stroke.

Hormone that does not cause vasoconstriction?
oee [108]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C-ANP (Atrial natriuretic peptide).

Explanation:

Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels which can stop or block the blood flow.

Vasoconstriction reduces the urine formation during stress conditions through the action of hormones like ADH (anti-diuretic hormone), norepinephrine, epinephrine and angiotensin II produced via the sympathetic nervous system.

The atrial natriuretic hormone (ANP) is a cardiac hormone produced to lower the blood pressure or reduce blood plasma through vasodilation, increased vascular permeability and increase renal excretion.  

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
