Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2

Rationale 1: Beta-adrenergic blockers are second-choice pharmacotherapy for heart failure.
Rationale 2: Phosphodiesterase inhibitors are second-choice pharmacotherapy for heart failure.
Rationale 3: Diuretics are first-choice pharmacotherapy for heart failure.
Rationale 4: ACE inhibitors are first-choice pharmacotherapy for heart failure.
Rationale 5: Alpha blockers are not second-choice pharmacotherapy for heart failure.

Global Rationale: Beta blockers and phosphodiesterase inhibitors are second-choice pharmacotherapy for heart failure. Diuretics and ACE inhibitors are first-choice pharmacotherapy for heart failure. Alpha blockers are not a second-choice pharmacotherapy for heart failure.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: Decreased body temperature is incorrect because this is not caused by right-sided heart failure.
Rationale 2: Increased body temperature is incorrect because this is not caused by right-sided heart failure.
Rationale 3: Fatigue, shortness of breath, and cough is incorrect because this is caused by left-sided heart failure.
Rationale 4: Peripheral edema is caused by right-sided heart failure.

Global Rationale: Peripheral edema is caused by right-sided heart failure. Decreased body temperature is incorrect because this is not caused by right-sided heart failure. Increased body temperature is incorrect because this is not caused by right-sided heart failure. Fatigue, shortness of breath, and cough is incorrect because this is caused by left-sided heart failure.
