Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

A client with cardiomyopathy experiencing tachycardia may take a beta blocker to lower the heart rate. ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II blockers are used to decrease blood pressure in a client with cardiomyopathy. Cardiac glycosides are used in congestive heart failure and do not assist in lowering the heart rate in a client with cardiomyopathy.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The types of cardiomyopathy include dilated, restrictive, hypertrophic, arrythmogenic right ventricular, and unclassified.
