Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
With a sustained heart rate greater than 160 beats/min, diastolic filling time decreases, decreasing stroke volume and cardiac output. The hemoglobin level would not be affected.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Cardiac output can be calculated by multiplying the stroke volume and the heart rate. The other options are not measures of cardiac output.
