Answer to Question 1

MRI is contraindicated for patients with implanted metallic devices such as pacemakers. The other information also will be reported to the health care provider but does not impact on wheth-er or not the patient can have an MRI.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The nurse will need to teach the patient that the procedure is rapid and involves little risk. None of the other actions are necessary.
