Answer to Question 1

D
A 10 reduction of total weight will decrease blood pressure in many overweight individuals. This factor has significance because it underscores the importance of weight reduction in the older adult population. The other factors are important but not as significant to overall cardiac health as is weight loss.

Answer to Question 2

A
The presence of high protein levels in the urine warrants investigation to rule out a urinary tract infection or kidney disease.
