Answer to Question 1

An increase in activity levels would be an appropriate goal for the client diagnosed with heart failure. The other options would be a decrease in ability, function, or management of the heart failure patient.

Answer to Question 2

Opioids provide analgesia, decrease anxiety, and provide sedation. Calcium channel blockers treat specific heart problems. Hydrogen ion antagonists are used to reduce gastric secretions. Anticholinergics are used to reduce oral and respiratory tract secretions.
