D
Patients need to be assessed for iodine or shellfish allergies before the test because the contrast media is iodine based. Before an IVP procedure, bowel preparation is required. The patient is NPO for at least 4 hours before the procedure. After the procedure the patient is encouraged to push fluids to reduce the nephrotoxic effects of the contrast material.
