Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, E
Feedback:
Signs of digitalis toxicity include anorexia, weakness, lethargy, blurred vision, and disorientation. An inability to relax and photosensitivity are not associated with digitalis toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The ejection fraction is the amount of blood that is ejected from the ventricles per beat in relation to the amount of blood available to eject. An ejection fraction of less than 40 indicates heart failure. Normally the ejection fraction should be greater than 60.
