The nurse completes teaching the client with a newly inserted ICD. Which statement, if made by the client, indicates that further teaching is needed?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
CPR should only be initiated if the client is unresponsive and pulseless. EMS should be called if there is more than one shock. This statement indicates further teaching is needed. The other statements are correct regarding ICD function, shock sensation, and driving restrictions.
