Question

A nurse is caring for four clients who have different cerebrovascular disorders.  Which client would require a magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) to accurately confirm the client's condition?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a non-invasive imaging tool used to visualize the blood vessels of the brain. It is used to diagnose conditions such as aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations, which are more likely to be present in clients with hemorrhagic stroke or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Therefore, Client 3, who has a subarachnoid hemorrhage, would require an MRA to accurately confirm the condition. Clients 1, 2, and 4 have ischemic strokes, which are caused by a blockage in a blood vessel, and would not require an MRA for diagnosis.
