Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The incidence of hypertension is greater in diabetic patients, older adults, and African-Americans. The incidence of hypertension (high BP) is higher in African-Americans than in European Americans.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The concentration of hemoglobin reflects the patient's capacity to carry oxygen, which if low can lead to shortness of breath and chest discomfort. Normal hemoglobin levels range from 14 to 18 g/100 mL in males and from 12 to 16 g/100 mL in females. Hemoglobin of 8.0 is low and indicates a decreased ability to deliver oxygen to meet bodily needs. All other values in the selection are considered normal.
