Implants should be placed a minimum of 2 mm from the inferior alveolar canal.
You may proceed with immediate loading of the implant.
You should continue but only perform a two-stage procedure.
Back the implant out approximately 0.5 mm to ensure a safe distance from the nerve.
Remove the implant and plan a repeat surgery after 4 months of healing.
