Final answer:
Standard IV tubing is safe for use in the MRI suite if checked for patency before the scan. Standard anesthesia carts and monitors are generally not safe or designed for use in the Zone 2 of the MRI suite because of the strong magnetic fields.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct statement is: B) Standard IV tubing can be used in the MRI suite as long as it is checked for patency before the scan is started. This is true because standard IV tubing does not generally contain metal and thus would not be affected by the MRI's magnetic field, provided that the tubing is confirmed to be nonmagnetic and is properly checked for patency before the procedure to ensure the patient's safety and the integrity of the IV line.
Zone 2 of the MRI suite refers to the area where individuals are under direct supervision and is outside the MRI scanner room but may still have a higher magnetic field than general public areas. Certain equipments must meet specific safety regulations to be allowed in this zone. Standard anesthesia carts and monitors that have not been specifically designed to be MR-compatible are not safe for use in Zone 2 because of the presence of strong magnetic fields.
More importantly, the fact that anesthesia providers cannot stay in the scan room is not due to noise affecting their hearing but because of the powerful magnetic fields present. Adequate hearing protection is provided to staff and patients to mitigate the noise from the MRI machine.
