2) allergy to iodine
3) renal impairment

Answer 1

The conditions that may indicate not to use IV contrast media are: previous serious reaction to contrast media, allergy to iodine, and renal impairment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following conditions may be an indication NOT to use IV contrast media?

1. Previous serious reaction to contrast media used during another diagnostic procedure: If a patient has previously had a serious reaction to a contrast media during a diagnostic procedure, it would be an indication not to use IV contrast media again to avoid any potential risks.
2. Allergy to iodine: If a patient is allergic to iodine, IV contrast media should not be used as it contains iodine which can trigger an allergic reaction.
3. Renal impairment: Patients with renal impairment may be at an increased risk of developing contrast-induced nephropathy, so the use of IV contrast media should be avoided.
