Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assess patient for possible delayed reaction to iodine dye - dyspnea,hives,tachycardia,and rash.Reaction occurs up to 6 hours after injection of dye.Thirst,by itself,is not a major warning sign of reaction to the dye.Pallor,by itself,is not a major warning sign of reaction to the dye.Patient's report of any feelings of pain,dyspnea,numbness or tingling or other untoward symptoms may indicate cardiac complications or procedure site complications,but not of reaction to the dye.
