A nurse is caring for a client who has a sulfa allergy.
Which of the following prescriptions should the nurse clarify with the provider?

Choice A rationale

Traveling by plane is safe for individuals with pacemakers. Security procedures at airports can be managed with proper precautions and communication with security staff.

Choice B rationale

MRIs are generally contraindicated for individuals with pacemakers due to the strong magnetic fields. CAT scans are usually a safer alternative.

Choice C rationale

Holding the cell phone on the opposite side of the pacemaker is recommended to avoid potential interference with the device.

Choice D rationale

Modern microwave ovens are well shielded and do not pose a risk of interference with pacemakers. Individuals with pacemakers can safely use microwaves.

Choice A rationale

The supine position with the head of the bed flat does not facilitate the safe and effective draining of fluid from the pleural cavity. This position can compromise the respiratory status of the patient and is therefore not suitable for a thoracentesis.

Choice B rationale

The Trendelenburg position, where the head is lower than the feet, can increase intracranial pressure and is not suitable for thoracentesis. This position does not allow for the optimal access to the pleural space needed for the procedure.

Choice C rationale

Sitting upright while leaning forward over pillows is the ideal position for a thoracentesis. This position allows the fluid to accumulate at the base of the pleural cavity and provides easy access for the procedure. It also facilitates better breathing and reduces the risk of injury to the diaphragm and other internal structures.

Choice D rationale

Lying prone with arms extended away from the body does not provide adequate access to the pleural space for thoracentesis. This position also makes it difficult to manage and monitor the patient's respiratory status during the procedure. .
