Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Activity intolerance is a significant problem for clients with cardiovascular dysfunction, although it is not exclusively a cardiovascular problem.

Answer to Question 2

Catheterization of the heart and large vessel is used to determine precise information concerning valve function and cardiac muscle strength. Radiopaque dye is used for this purpose. A catheter is not introduced through the chest wall and neither Doppler nor sound waves are used.
