A client is being discharged after receiving an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Which statement by the client indicates that teaching has been effective?

"I will let my daughter fix my hair until my HCP says i can do it"

Explanation:

A cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), which is implanted, can detect and defeat life threats. It also involves pacemakers such as pacing with fast cardiac beats or bradycardia back up pacing that can occur following defibrillation.

The ICD is a lead device implanted through the subclavian vein in the endocardium. The pulse generator is implanted over the pectoral muscle subcutaneously. The diagnosis and instruction of pacemakers was close to those of pacemakers.

To order to prevent the dislodging of lead wire on the endocardium patients are advised to stop raising the infected arm over the shoulder (until authorised by a healthcare provider).
