Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

C

The cardinal manifestations of heart failure are dyspnea and fatigue, which can lead to exercise intolerance and fluid retention. Fluid retention results in the development of pulmonary congestion and peripheral edema. An audible S3 is often present. The patient is not presenting with myocardial infarction symptoms.
