Instructing the patient to take slow, deep breaths can help alleviate nausea, which is a common side effect of contrast agents used during CTA scans. Administering an antianxiety agent or establishing an IV line may not address the specific symptom of nausea, and terminating the procedure may not be necessary if the patient's condition can be managed effectively.
