Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: An increased preload will not result in a reduced stroke volume in a normal heart.
Rationale 2: Drugs that increase preload generally increase cardiac output.
Rationale 3: Drugs that increase preload generally increase venous return to the heart.
Rationale 4: Preload is the degree to which the ventricles are filled with blood. Afterload is the resistance against the left ventricle.
Global Rationale: Drugs that increase preload generally increase cardiac output. An increased preload will not result in a reduced stroke volume in a normal heart. Drugs that increase preload generally increase venous return to the heart. Preload is the degree to which the ventricles are filled with blood. Afterload is the resistance against the left ventricle.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3.9
Rationale: A client's cardiac output is calculated by stroke volume  heart rate.
Global Rationale: A client's cardiac output is calculated by stroke volume  heart rate.
