C)'You have nothing to worry about; the MRI machine is safe and will not cause you any pain.'
D)'Let's just get you to the x-ray department for your test and you'll see how simple it is.'

Answer 1

You may hear some loud noises when you are lying in the machine, but they won't hurt you.

Step-by-step explanation:

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging ) is the medical technique to diagnose the specific parts of the body. The MRI uses the magnetic waves to produce the images of the body parts.

The different sounds are produced by the machine when an individual is placed for the MRI scan. The CLS must explain to the child that machine do not produce any harm and tries to keep the child comfortable with the machine.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
