Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
When measuring BP, the systolic (contraction) pressure and the diastolic (relaxation) pressure of the blood within the arteries are recorded. The pressure of blood within the veins, within the heart, or within the lungs is not recorded for measuring BP.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The lowest level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs must be met before achieving higher levels of needs. In this case, the lowest level of need that has to be addressed first is the need for shelter and freedom from harm and danger before being able to fulfill love, affection, belonging, self-esteem, or self-actualization needs.
