Answer to Question 1

C
Secondary hypertension identified in the vascular system refers to elevated blood pressure caused by underlying disease such as renal artery disease, renal parenchymal disorders, endocrine and metabolic disorders, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, coarctation of the aorta, and increased intravascular volume. Gender, ethnic origin, and insulin are not diseases that cause hypertension.

Answer to Question 2

A
Warfarin therapy is monitored by the international normalized ratio (INR) or INR with proth-rombin time.
