Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A nursing intervention to relieve pain is to recommend the patient rest periodically until the pain subsides. Exercise and standing for long periods of time can exacerbate the pain. Crossing the legs can limit blood flow to the extremities and increase pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The blood vessels become less elastic because of aging and may lead to increased blood pressure.
