A nurse is assisting with the care of a client following a left femoral cardiac angiography. The nurse should place a sandbag on the client over which of the following areas?
Right groin area
Left Groin area
Right ankle
Left ankle
The Correct Answer is B
A. The right groin area is not the site of the procedure, so placing a sandbag here would not help control bleeding or pressure.
B. The sandbag should be placed over the left groin area where the femoral artery was accessed during the angiography. This helps apply pressure to prevent bleeding from the site and promote clot formation.
C. The right ankle is irrelevant to the procedure and would not require pressure.
D. Similarly, the left ankle has no relation to the femoral angiography site.

B. Diarrhea is not a typical side effect of benztropine; constipation is more likely due to its anticholinergic properties.
C. Difficulty voiding is an anticholinergic adverse effect of benztropine, as it can cause urinary retention. The client should report this symptom immediately to prevent complications.
D. Slow pulse is not a common adverse effect of benztropine; it may actually increase heart rate due to its anticholinergic effects.
