Correct answer: E — Remove it before MRI because its aluminium backing can heat and burn skin
Option E is correct: the Neupro backing contains aluminium and the patch must be removed before MRI or cardioversion to prevent a skin burn; subsequent dosing follows the prescribed plan. Option C invents a reservoir-only rule. Option B does not remove the conductive material. Option D merely changes its location. Option A deliberately retains the hazard and risks duplicate exposure.
