Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Diuretics have been shown to be the safest and most effective medications for lowering blood pressure and preventing the cardiovascular complications of hypertension. A beta-adrenergic, an alpha-adrenergic, or a calcium channel agonist drug would be used for patients with other con-current health problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
SVCS is a progressive occlusion of the SVC that leads to venous distention in the upper extremi-ties and head. This distention is not a result of progressive inflammation, distention, or sclerosis.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
