It appears that your patient is suffering from severe congestive heart failure. What drug could be administered?
  1. Nitroglycerin
  2. Furosemide
  3. Both A and B
  4. Neither A nor B
Explanation
Answer - C - Nitroglycerin and Furosemide can be administered to a patient that is suffering from severe congestive heart failure. The goal is to decrease the workload on the heart by decreasing preload. This can be accomplished by administering drugs such as nitroglycerin and Furosemide. These drugs dilate the veins and cause the pooling of blood on the venous side of the veins and decrease preload.
