Answer to Question 1

D
Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside drug that works on the muscle fiber of the heart to increase the force of each contraction. It also slows down the heart rate. These actions improve cardiac out-put.

Answer to Question 2

C
Providing an audiotape reinforces the information presented during a teaching session by pro-viding a reminder of what was learned. The more the senses are stimulated during teaching and learning, the more the learner will remember the information.
