Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 6
Modifiable risk factors for the diagnosis of hypertension include obesity, diet, and lifestyle. The nurse should instruct the client on weight reduction, low-fat, high-fiber diet, and increasing activity and exercise throughout the day. Relocation to a safer community, employment counseling, and advance directives are not considered factors to reduce the risk of hypertension.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3
Tall peaked T-waves and dysrhythmias are seen on the electrocardiogram of a client experiencing hyperkalemia. The other choices are not seen with hyperkalemia.
