A 50-yr-old woman with a suspected brain tumor is scheduled
for a CT scan with contrast media. The nurse notifies the
physician that the patient reported an allergy to shellfish. Which
response by the physician should the nurse question? Correct
Answers Infuse IV diphenhydramine before the procedure.
- An individual with an allergy to shellfish is at an increased risk
to develop anaphylactic shock if contrast media is injected for a
CT scan. To prevent anaphylactic shock, the nurse should
always confirm the patient's allergies before diagnostic
procedures (e.g., CT scan with contrast media). Appropriate
interventions may include cancelling the procedure, completing
the procedure without contrast media, or premedication with
diphenhydramine or hydrocortisone. IV fluids may be given to
promote renal clearance of the contrast media and prevent renal
toxicity and acute kidney injury. The use of an antianxiety agent
such as lorazepam would not be effective in preventing an
allergic reaction to the contrast media.
Premedicate with hydrocortisone sodium succinate (Solu-
Cortef).
