Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
Nesiritide is a hormone normally secreted by the cardiac ventricles in response to fluid and pressure overload, suppresses aldosterone, and causes vasodilation. Nesiritide does not increase preload or promote norepinephrine secretion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Hypertension, smoking, and diminished exercise tolerance are contributing factors to atherosclerosis, which can be modified with changes in behavior and the assistance of medications. Genetic history and age are not modifiable factors.
