Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E, F, G
When preparing and giving drugs safely to patients, the nurse should follow the six rights, which are right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, right time, and right documentation. Some sources cite two additional rights to follow when giving drugs, which are the right diagno-sis to match the drug's purpose and the patient's right to refuse to take a drug.

Answer to Question 2

B
The actions of diuretic drugs help heart failure in several ways. They can relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure so that less effort is needed for the heart contraction to move blood into the general circulation. Removing extra fluid from the circulation also can reduce blood pressure. In addition, some diuretics work on the heart muscle itself.
