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.
