Question

which of the following is not a treatment for congestive heart failure?
a diuretics - to increase urine output
b disaccharides - to increase energy
c digoxin - to increase heart contraction strength
d dilators - to relax blood vessels

Explanation:

• Diuretics help reduce fluid overload by increasing urine output, which is beneficial for congestive heart failure patients.
• Digoxin improves heart contraction strength, aiding in better cardiac function.
• Dilators relax blood vessels, reducing the heart's workload.
• Disaccharides are a type of carbohydrate (e.g., sucrose, lactose). They are not a specific treatment for congestive heart failure. Their role is mainly in providing energy as part of a normal diet, not as a medical treatment for this condition.

Answer:

B. Disaccharides - to increase energy
