diagnostic tests that require npo

[BacktotheBeach]

Hi, I'm a new grad med surg nurse with about a week left in orientation. Does anyone have a list I could keep handy of what diagnostic tests require patients to be npo after midnight?

Thanks!

Any scopes, abdominal ultrasounds or imaging.

Cardiac stress tests at are hospital are NPO. Surgeries naturally. Some guided biopsies or procedures. Though some facilities I worked at allowed a clear liquid then NPO.
