23. A patient returns to the medical-surgical unit after having
undergone an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Which interventions
are appropriate for this patient's care post-procedure? (I
think the right answer is A and D only)
Select all that apply.
a. Keep the patient NPO until the gag reflex returns. b. Obtain
a set of orthostatic vital signs. c. Monitor the patient's vital
signs every 30 minutes until the patient is awake. d. Keep the head
of the bed up 30 degrees. e. Administer oxygen via nasal cannula to
keep the oxygen saturation at or above 95%. f. Allow patient to
small sips of water to sooth irritated throat tissues.
