Question:

A patient is recovering from pacemaker insertion surgery. Which of the following, if stated by the patient, reflects a correct understanding of discharge instructions?

A “I should not vacuum for at least one week after my surgery.”

The microwave is irrelevant. Patient shouldn’t vacuum because this involves extra arm movements. Airport security x-ray machine is fine. No MRI for pacemakers!
