Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Orthostatic hypotension is often accompanied by dizziness, blurring or loss of vision, and synco-pe or fainting, not by headache or blurred vision, which are symptoms of hypertension. Chest pain and palpitations may be symptomatic of myocardial infarction. Nausea and vomiting are as-sociated with gastrointestinal issues.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Most cases of hypertension are diagnosed as primary hypertension, not secondary, which is due to a known cause. Most cases of hypertension are not a result of congenital or acquired causes.
