Answer:

Answer ..... Decongestants, Amphetamines and over-the- counter cold medications.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above mentioned drugs require caution while administering them to an older adult with heart failure developed due to hypertension , this is because the drugs have the tendency of increasing water retention and increasing cardiac load. And this is very dangerous for such person.

Note that , Long -acting sedatives and narcotics can be administered safely, because they have no negative effect on cardiac function.
