Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
56 is the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure and is called the pulse pressure, which is an indicator of the tone of the arterial blood vessel walls. 212 is not the pulse pressure. 134 is the systolic pressure. 78 is the diastolic pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Hydralazine is used to treat hypertension associated with renal disease. Hydralazine is not used to treat hypertension associated with stroke, diabetes mellitus, or myocardial infarction.
