Final answer:
The correct answer is that the nurse should confirm the client understands when they state they can expect to feel sleepy for several hours after the procedure, which is a common effect of moderate sedation used during a bronchoscopy.
Step-by-step explanation:
A nurse is providing teaching for a client who is scheduled to undergo moderate sedation for a bronchoscopy. It is important that patients understand pre- and post-procedural instructions to ensure their safety and the success of the procedure. Among the options provided, the nurse should verify that the client understands the procedure when the client states, "I can expect to feel sleepy for several hours after the procedure." This statement is correct because moderate sedation can cause residual drowsiness, and patients should anticipate feeling sleepy for some time after the sedation wears off.
Instructions for the procedure typically include fasting for a certain period before the procedure and guidelines on when the patient can resume eating and drinking post-procedure. There is generally no need for a bowel prep before a bronchoscopy, and patients should not drink plenty of fluids the morning of the procedure as they are usually instructed to fast.
