Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: Obesity and sodium intake are modifiable risk factors for hypertension. These are of the utmost importance because they can be changed or modified by the individual through a regular exercise program and careful monitoring of sodium intake. Protein intake has no relationship to hypertension.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: To avoid infections, visitors with active infections should not be allowed to visit the client. Otherwise, restrictions are not required. Stress causes increased workload on the heart, and the client should be instructed to avoid stress. Too much weight gain can place further demands on the heart. Resting should be done while lying on the left side to promote blood return.
