Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Many research trials have demonstrated the positive effects of physical activity on the other major cardiac risk factors. Exercise alters the lipid profile by decreasing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels and increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Exercise reduces insulin resistance at the cellular level, lowering the risk for developing type 2 diabetes, especially if combined with a weight loss program.

Answer to Question 2

D
In VF, the patient does not have a pulse, no blood is being pumped forward, and defibrillation is the only definitive therapy. No forward flow of blood or palpable pulse is present in VF.
