Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Interventions for a patient who is experiencing ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion include instructing the patient to avoid smoking. Nicotine is a potent vasoconstrictor that further impairs arterial blood flow. The patient should be instructed on the benefits of regular exercise; the importance of keeping the extremities warm but avoid using electronic heating pads or hot water bottles; and avoiding crossing legs or using a pillow under the knees.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
High-output heart failure occurs in patients in hypermetabolic states such as anemia or hyperthyroidism. Hypertension is typically associated with low-output heart failure. Sedatives and analgesics slow metabolic function.
