Answer to Question 1

C
Blood pressure of 152/94 mm Hg is considered stage 1 hypertension. Stage 1 hypertension is systolic blood pressure 140 to 159 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure 90 to 99 mm Hg. Stage 2 hypertension is systolic blood pressure >160 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure 110 mm Hg. Prehypertension is systolic blood pressure 120 to 139 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure 80 to 89 mm Hg. Normal blood pressure is systolic blood pressure <120 Hg.

Answer to Question 2

A
Primary or essential hypertension is caused by unknown factors. Sedentary lifestyle, excess so-dium intake, and being overweight or obese all contribute to hypertension and are all factors that can be modified to decrease blood pressure.
