Answer to Question 1

A
All statements are accurate, but the question asks about the purpose of the ICD.
ICDs are devices indicated for patients with repeated episodes of life-threatening dysrhythmias and for some patients with cardiomyopathy. This device monitors the heartbeat and provides an electrical shock similar to that delivered in cardiac defibrillation or cardioversion when a life-threatening rhythm is detected. Most ICDs have the ability to pace as well as defibrillate. The patient is warned to avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields such as: microwave towers, transformers and electrical transmitters, electrical generators, handheld security devices at air-ports, and arc welding equipment. The patient should not lean over the alternator of a running car or boat motor. A magnetic field will temporarily inactivate the device. Moving away from the magnetic source will restore normal function.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
Age-related changes that occur in women after menopause include uterine atrophy, increased vaginal dryness, decreased bone mass, and uterine prolapse. Vaginal elasticity decreases after menopause.
