Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The goal for antihypertensive therapy for a patient with hypertension and diabetes mellitus is a BP <130>

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Having the patient self-monitor BPs at home will provide a reliable indication about whether the patient has hypertension. Regular BP checks in the clinic are likely to be high in a patient with white coat hypertension. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring may be used if the data from self-monitoring are unclear. Although elevated stress levels may contribute to hypertension, instructing the patient about this is unlikely to reduce BP.
