Can I have help answering these questions?

Congestive heart failure is a condition in which the strength of contraction with each beat may be significantly reduced. For example, the ventricle may pump only half the usual volume of blood with each beat. Would you expect a person with congestive heart failure to have a faster or slower heart rate at rest? With exercise? Medications are available which can slow the heart or speed it up. If a patient complains of feeling poorly and has a heart rate of 120 beats/min, should you administer a medicine to slow the rate?

Explanation / Answer

5) No, administration of medicine is not necessary to slower the heart rate. Administration of medicine may results is rapd fall in blood pressure.
