seconds.

What is the correct angle of insertion for placing a butterfly needle into a vein for
intravenous administration of a contrast agent? - answer15 degrees
It's also important that the vein be properly stabilized and needle be inserted gently with
bevel facing upward.
A total volume of 125 mL of an iodinated contrast agent is administered intravenously
via automatic injector in 50 seconds. The flow rate for this injection is: - answer2.5
mL/sec
Flow rate may be calculated by dividing total contrast volume by time of injection.
The condition whereby the pt suffers from a low concentration of oxygen in the blood is
called: - answerhypoxemia
While one is obtaining a thorough history from a pt before the intravenous injection of an
iodinated contrast material, which of the following topics should be included?
1. any prior allergic reactions to CM
2. presence of HIV or hepatitis infection
3. hx of asthma - answer1 and 3 only.
Which of the following factors may affect a pt's calculated GFR?
1. age
2. sex
3. race - answer1, 2, and 3
Which of the following IV contrast agent administration methods provides the greatest
overall plasma iodine concentration?
a. drip infusion
b. bolus technique
c. biphasic technique
d. CT portography - answerbolus technique
,A bolus admin. of contrast agent requires entire vol of material to be injected over the
shortest possible time. Bolus admin provides the maximum plasma iodine concentration
and subsequent tissue enhancement.
A patient in shock may exhibit which of the following sx?
1. tachycardia
2. rapid, shallow breathing
3. cyanosis - answer1, 2, and 3
Other sx include pallor, hypotension, and cold, clammy skin

a. anticholinergic
b. bronchodilator
c. antihistamine
d. corticosteroid - answercorticosteroid
SOLU-CORTEF is a brand name for hydrocortisone. Corticosteroids may be used
during tx of anaphylactoid reactions to iodinated CM.
Which of the following is a nonionic contrast material?
a. iodamide
b. iothalamate
c. iohexol
d. diatrizoate - answeriohexol
Nonionic CM include iopamidol (Isovue), iohexol (Omnipaque), and iopromide
(Ultravist).

electrocardiogram (ECG)? - answerT wave
During CT arthrography, iodinated contrast media is injected directly into the: -
answerjoint space
Which of the following is considered one of the iso-osmolar contrast media (IOCM)?
a. iodixanol
b. iopamidol
c. iohexol
d. ioversol - answeriodixanol (Visipaque)
, Iohexol (Omnipaque), iopamidol (Isovue), and ioversol (Optiray) are all nonionic low-
osmolar contrast media (LOCM)
A common site for the IV administration of iodinated CM is the anterior recess of the
elbow, otherwise known as the: - answerantecubital space
The potentially serious decline in renal function after the IV administration of CM is
called: - answercontrast-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN)
Advantages of saline flush immediately after the IV administration of iodinated CM
include:
1. reduction in required contrast agent dose
2. reduction in the incidence of contrast-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN)
3. reduction of streaking artifact from dense contrast agent in the vasculature - answer1,
2, and 3
Use of saline flush also improves overall contrast agent utilization efficiency of the CT
exam
Which of the following meds may be administered to dilate the coronary vasculature
prior to cardiac CT examination?
a. sublingual nitroglycerine
b. beta-blocker
c. atropine
d. albuterol - answersublingual nitroglycerine

a. iohexol
b. iothalamate meglumine
c. iopamidol
