Question 1

Which of the following describes undersensing?
◦ The pacemaker incorrectly interprets something as a depolarization and is inhibited from firing.
◦ The pacemaker fires but does not cause depolarization in the chamber being paced.
◦ The pacemaker fails to generate an impulse.
◦ The pacemaker fails to sense intrinsic beats and paces on top of them.

Question 2

What should a VVI pacemaker do when the patient goes into asystole?
◦ The pacemaker should pace the atrium and ventricle at its programmed rate.
◦ The pacemaker should pace the ventricle at its programmed rate.
◦ It will do nothing, since there's nothing for it to sense.
◦ The VVI pacemaker should fire at a slower rate than normal to preserve battery life.
