Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who asks about the use of magnet therapy for pain relief. The nurse should identify that which of the following findings is a contraindication for receiving this type of therapy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The client has an implanted defibrillator. Magnet therapy can interfere with the functioning of electronic devices like defibrillators, potentially causing malfunction or harm. Implanted devices are sensitive to electromagnetic fields, making it unsafe for individuals with such devices to undergo magnet therapy.
Therefore, this finding is a contraindication for receiving magnet therapy.
Summary of incorrect choices:
A: The client has a prescription for metoprolol - Metoprolol is not directly contraindicated with magnet therapy.
B: The client is allergic to penicillin - Penicillin allergy is not relevant to magnet therapy contraindications.
D: The client has a history of alcohol use disorder - Alcohol use disorder does not impact the safety of magnet therapy.
