Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Weight loss decreases the stress on the heart and the afterload. Decreasing salt intake decreases the amount of retained fluid. Changing to yoga from weight-bearing exercise, limiting fluids, and increasing potassium are not indicated. Stress reduction is recommended, but increasing protein is not.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic and can cause hyperkalemia.
