Answer to Question 1

C
Fever or exposure to warm environments increases heart rate. Large doses of narcotic analgesics and hypothermia can slow heart rate. A well-conditioned patient may have a slower than usual resting heart rate, which returns more quickly to resting rate after exercise.

Answer to Question 2
