Answer to Question 1

A
Drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water a day is recommended. Spread it out evenly throughout the day. Avoid or limit drinking beverages that contain caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate drinks, and soft drinks). To avoid UTIs and contamination, women should cleanse themselves from the meatus toward the rectum. Proper hand washing and perineal care will greatly reduce the incidence of UTIs.

Answer to Question 2

B
The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure is the pulse pressure. For a blood pressure (BP) of 120/80 mm Hg, the pulse pressure is 40 . When the ventricles relax, the blood remaining in the arteries exerts a minimum or diastolic pressure. Under high pressure, the left ventricle ejects blood into the aorta; the peak pressure is known as systolic pressure. The most common alteration in blood pressure is hypertension, an often asymptomatic disorder characterized by persistently elevated BP. Hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) greater than 140 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) greater than 90 mm Hg.
