Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
According to the American Heart Association, the prevalence of hypertension is higher among Blacks than in other racial groups.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Normal or physiologic splitting of the S2 is associated with inspiration because of the increased blood return to the right side of the heart, delaying closure of the pulmonic valve.
