It is determined that a client with heart block will require implantation of a permanent pacemaker to assist heart function. the client expresses concern about having an increased risk of accidental electrocution. how should the nurse respond?

For the answer to the question above, the voltage emitted is not strong enough to electrocute. So they must increase the voltage. The pacemaker is pretested for safety before it is inserted, so they must increase the voltage and test it before proceeding.
