A client wants to start doing magnet therapy. The nurse should explain to the client, which would be a contraindication for the use of magnet therapy?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Pacemaker. Pacemakers can be affected by magnetic fields, potentially leading to malfunctions. This is a contraindication for magnet therapy. History of hypothyroidism (A), narcolepsy (C), and indwelling catheter (D) are not contraindications for magnet therapy as they do not interact with magnets in the same way pacemakers do.
