Answer to Question 1

A
This response demonstrates cultural sensitivity and respect for the patient's beliefs, but at the same time the nurse can take advantage of a teachable moment.

Answer to Question 2

A
Vasodilators act directly on the peripheral arteries, causing them to dilate, which leads to de-creased blood pressure and workload on the heart. When patients cannot take ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers, vasodilators are often prescribed.
