Answer to Question 1

B
Identification of the underlying disease should be the first step in treating secondary hypertension. Weight control and diet are a nonpharmacological treatment for primary hypertension. Digoxin is indicated in the treatment of congestive heart failure. Beta-adrenergic receptor blockers are indicated in the treatment of primary hypertension.

Answer to Question 2

C
Primary hypertension in children may be treated with weight reduction and exercise programs. If ineffective, pharmacological intervention may be needed. Primary hypertension is considered to be an inherited disorder.
