Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Managing hypertension is the most important strategy. The other three choices, though less important, do tend to improve cerebral perfusion levels and general health.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nursing interventions are directed toward protecting the patient from potential sources of infection. Neutrophils ingest bacteria and dispose of dead tissue. They are the primary phagocytic cells involved in acute inflammatory response.
