3 -- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses radio waves and magnetic fields to detect musculoskeletal disorders. The nurse must screen patients prior to the exam for metal on clothing or metallic implants such as pacemakers, shrapnel, or clips on aneurysms. The presence of an open abdominal wound (presumably packed and bandaged) would not cause concern for injury.
