Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Triglycerides in men should be below 160 mg/dL. The other values are appropriate for adult males.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The student should not compress both carotid arteries at the same time to avoid brain ischemia. Blood pressure should be taken and compared in both arms. Prolonged capillary refill is considered to be greater than 5 seconds in an older adult, so classifying refill of 4 seconds as normal would not require intervention. Bruits should be auscultated.
