"It is important to lie still during the procedure."
"Medication will be given orally for sedation."
"An anesthetic throat spray will be used."
"A signed informed consent is necessary."
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. "Medication will be given orally for sedation."
Intravenous sedation (not oral) is given to relax the patient, and an anesthetic throat spray is used to help keep the patient from gagging as the endoscope is passed. The patient has to sign an informed consent form. The patient also needs to lie still for ERCP, which takes about an hour to perform. Priority Nursing Tip: After ERCP, assess the patient for the return of the gag reflex before offering the patient anything to drink or eat.
