Answer to Question 1

1
Cold cuts are processed meats that are usually high in sodium and may cause water retention and an increase in blood pressure. The rest of the foods really have no effect on blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 4, 5, 6
When evaluating a client's chest pain, the following should be assessed: pain intensity with a pain scale; duration; characteristics to include precipitating factors, onset, pattern of disappearance; recurrence and time of day; what is used to treat the pain; other symptoms such as shortness of breath or sweating; and if the pain is related to an injury or surgery. Assessment for sleep disturbance is not a part of the chest pain assessment.
