2. Do not place any electrical items over the pacemaker insertion site.

Rationale:
The client should be instructed not to place any electrical items over the pacemaker insertion site; doing so could cause the pacemaker to malfunction. There are special precautions for the client to be aware with a permanent pacemaker. The client should wear loose-fitting clothing. Dizziness is not to be expected and should be reported to the health care provider.
