Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse will follow up if the NAP sets the scanner to female. Women who have had a hysterectomy should be designated as male. All the rest are correct and require no follow-up. The NAP should palpate the symphysis pubis, the scanner head should be cleaned with an alcohol pad, and a generous amount of gel should be applied.
