Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Blood pressure depends on the interrelationships of cardiac output, peripheral vascular resistance, blood volume, blood viscosity, and artery elasticity. The difference between systolic and diastol-ic pressure is the pulse pressure. For a BP of 120/80 mm Hg, the pulse pressure is 40.

Answer to Question 2

A
A family is a set of interacting individuals related by blood, marriage, or adoption who usually live together and fulfill functions of socialization, division of labor, economic provisions, and cooperatively meet affective and emotional needs of the individuals within the family unit. In addition, individuals living together, regardless of their relationship or whether they fulfill com-mon social functions, constitute a household. When you provide individualized family care, un-derstand that families take many forms and have diverse cultural and ethnic orientations. In addi-tion, no two families are alike. Each has its own strengths, weaknesses, resources, and challenges.
