Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is important for the nurse to educate the client to report any joint crackling or clicking noises occurring after the second day after the arthrography procedure as it may indicate complications such as bleeding or infection. Avoiding sunlight or harsh climate, avoiding intake of dairy products, and gently massaging joints with any crackling or clicking joint noises are not relevant to arthrography post-procedure care.
