Answer to Question 1

A
Diuretics increase urinary output by preventing resorption of water and certain electrolytes. Some drugs change the color of urine (e.g., phenazopyridine, orange; riboflavin, intense yellow). Anticholinergics (e.g., atropine, overactive bladder OAB agents) may increase the risk for urinary retention by inhibiting bladder contractility. Hypnotics and sedatives (e.g., analgesics, antianxiety agents) may reduce the ability to recognize and act on the urge to void.

Answer to Question 2

A
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 difference between systolic and diastolic pressure is the pulse pressure. The most common alteration in blood pressure is hypertension, an often asymptomatic disorder characterized by persistently elevated blood pressure (BP). Hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) greater than 140 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) greater than 90 mm Hg.
