A postmenopausal client is scheduled for a bone-density scan. the nurse should instruct the client to:1. remove all metal objects on the day of the scan 2. consume foods and beverages with a high content of calcium for 2 days before the test. 3. Ingest 600 mg of calcium gluconate by mouth for 2 weeks before the test. 4. report any significant pain to the healthcare provider at least 2 days before the test. Hope this helps!
