Angiography and Interventional procedures
Ch 17 with Complete Solutions
An example of a nonvascular interventional procedure is:
A) nephrostomy.
B) thrombolysis.
C) stent placement.
D) embolization of a vessel. - ANSWER-A) nephrostomy
Pg. 680: Nephrostomy
Eventually, the external jugular vein connects with the ____ to form the brachiocephalic
vein.
A) external jugular vein
B) subclavian vein
C) superior vena cava
D) vertebral vein - ANSWER-B) subclavian vein
pg. 656
How is neoplastic tissue destroyed during radiofrequency ablation?
A) Freezing the tissue
B) Heating the tissue
C) Applying magnetic energy to the tissue
D) Cutting off blood supply to the tissue - ANSWER-B) Heating the tissue (heat
ablation)
Pg. 682: A radiofrequency current is passed through the electrode to heat the tour
tissue near the needle tip and "ablate" it. The application of current agitates ions in the
tissues that surround the electrode, causing them to generate frictional heat, which
destroys the tissue.
How long can a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line remain in the patient
safely (if properly maintained)?
A) 1 week
B) 30 days
C) 6 months
D) 18 months - ANSWER-C) 6 months
,Pg. 677: peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines may remain in place for 6
months if good care is taken of the line.
How long should solid food be withheld prior to angiography?
A) 1 hour
B) 4 hours
C) 8 hours
D) 12 hours - ANSWER-C) 8 hours
Pg. 661: solid food is withheld for approximately 8 hours before the procedure to reduce
the risk for aspiration.
Injection flow rate in angiography is NOT affected by:
A) viscosity of contrast media.
B) length and diameter of catheter.
C) injection pressure.
D) body temperature. - ANSWER-D) body temperature.
Pg. 667: the flow rate is affected by man variables such as the viscosity of the contrast
media, the length and diameter of the catheter, and injection pressure.
