Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Aspirin, exercise, and weight loss are all identified treatments for angina. Angina does not normally necessitate blood work, heparin administration, or avoidance of activity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Increased pressure in the aorta and other arteries constitutes a greater amount of afterload work. This situation is not indicative of increased preload or impaired contractility. Systolic impairment is not a recognized characterization of inadequate cardiac performance.
