Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale: Tachycardia is a sign of congestive heart failure because the heart attempts to improve cardiac output by beating faster.Bradycardia is a serious sign and can indicate impending cardiac arrest.Blood pressure does not increase in CHF,and the weight,instead of decreasing,increases because of retention of fluids.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4,5
Rationale 1: Decisions about contraception should take into consideration any contraindications the patient might have.
Rationale 2: Religious or moral beliefs often impact which choices are acceptable.
Rationale 3: The partner's belief in the effectiveness has no bearing on the actual effectiveness.
Rationale 4: Personal motivation needs to be considered when deciding on a contraceptive method.
Rationale 5: Plans for future pregnancy should be considered before determining whether sterilization should be performed.
