Question 1 of 5

The nurse is preparing an older client for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast. Which laboratory value should the nurse report to the healthcare provider before the scan is performed?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Serum creatinine of 1.9 mg/dL (169 umol/L) indicates moderate renal insufficiency, which can increase the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy, a sudden deterioration of kidney function after exposure to contrast media used for imaging studies such as MRI. This should be reported to the healthcare provider to assess the risk and benefit of the procedure and to take preventive measures such as hydration or alternative imaging modalities.
