Answer to Question 1

A
Hydration of the skin is the key to treatment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
While moderate alcohol intake, low-dose ASA, and a low-fat diet are conducive to cardiac health, weight loss and reduced sodium intake are more specific to the management of hypertension. Buerger-Allen exercises are used in the management of arteriosclerosis. Deep breathing is not a measure to specifically reduce the blood pressure.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
