Question

A nurse is assessing a client with crohn disease who is to have an upper gastrointestinal series. which condition necessitates the cancellation of the upper gastrointestinal series

Answer 1

An upper gastrointestinal (GI) series can be cancelled by doctors when they notice that you have recently drank or eaten.  As a rule, patients should not be allowed to eat, drink, smoke or even chew gum before their GI series so that doctors will be able to clearly see your upper GI tract.
