Question

A client is scheduled for a closed magnetic resonance imaging test (mri) for a knee problem. the client states, "i'm a little scared of small places." which is the nurse's most appropriate response?

Answer 1

The complication the nurse wants to avoid is called thrombophlebitis. It is caused by inactivity and pressure on the popliteal space. It is a condition that affects blood circulation. It is more likely to occur to patients who are post-operative.

Answer 2

The nurse most approrpiate response when the client states that I'm a little scared of small places is "Mild sedation is available if you are anxious about lying in a confined area." So the best statement that the nurse may told the client is "Mild sedation is available if you are anxious about lying in a confined area."
