hard · NCLEX-RN Reduction of Risk Potential
A 42-year-old machinist presents to the outpatient clinic for a scheduled abdominal MRI. During the pre-procedure screening, the client mentions getting a tiny metal sliver in their left eye ten years ago, which was removed in an emergency department. Which actions must the nurse perform? Select all that apply.
- Instruct the client to wear protective lead-shielded goggles during the MRI scan to block magnetic rays.
- Verify that a radiologist or credentialed clinician has reviewed and cleared the screening orbital radiographs before transport.
- Proceed with the MRI scan because the metal sliver was completely removed and the client is asymptomatic.
- Obtain an order for a screening orbital X-ray (plain radiographs) prior to cleared entry into Zone IV.
- Instill prophylactic ophthalmic saline drops to flush any potential residual surface metal from the sclera.
