Answer to Question 1

B
There are four classifications of hypertension (see Table 13-1 in the text). This patient's blood pressure is consistently within the range for pre-hypertension.

Answer to Question 2

A
An agonist drug has the same effects of the naturally occurring drug. So, taking a testosterone agonist adds to the effects of the patient's naturally occurring testosterone.
