Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
- Symptoms may not appear until days or weeks after the MRI
- Skin thickening can eventually limit movement of my joints, based on the current findings.
- If I have no symptoms within 24 hours, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis can no longer develop
- Very low kidney function and use of a higher-risk gadolinium agent increase the risk.
