Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statement D is correct. The echocardiogram is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart. It is a painless and non-invasive test, so the client does not need further teaching if he knows that this test causes no discomfort. All other statements require further teaching. The client does not need to take his pulse prior to the test (A), does not need to remain NPO (B), and does not have to walk on a treadmill (C).
