If the client has kidney disease (as indicated by BUN and creatinine results),fluids and Mucomyst may be given 12 to 24 hours before the procedure for renal protection.The client should be assessed for allergies to iodine,including shellfish; the contrast medium used during the catheterization contains iodine.A Foley catheter and central venous catheter are not required for the procedure and would only increase the client's risk for infection.Prophylactic antibiotics are not administered prior to a cardiac catheterization.
