1 -- There are no restrictions regarding food or fluids for this test. Patients with a history of chest pain should be asked if they have a prescription for transdermal nitroglycerin patches, which must be removed prior to the test. The nurse should assess for any metallic implants (such as pacemakers, clips on brain aneurysms, body piercings, tattoos, and shrapnel). If present, the nurse should notify the imaging physician. Ask if patient is pregnant; if so the test is not performed.
