Title: The patient asks the nurse why she is having a positron emission tomography (PET Post by: colleen on Mar 9, 2013 The patient asks the nurse why she is having a positron emission tomography (PET) scan instead of a computed tomography (CT) scan. The nurse was present in the room when the physician discussed the test. What is the best response by the nurse?
1. “Your doctor prefers to order PET scans.” 2. “Why are you concerned about this test?” 3. “PET scans have less radiation than CT scans.” 4. “You will still need a CT scan also.” Title: Re: The patient asks the nurse why she is having a positron emission tomography (PET Post by: robertling on May 1, 2013 Content hidden
