Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
This is a description of a sleep terror. The child is observed during the episode and not disturbed unless there is a possibility of injury. A child who awakes from a nightmare is distressed. She is aware of and reassured by the parent's presence. This is not the case with sleep apnea. This behavior is not indicative of seizure activity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
The DASH diet provides a lower salt diet that has been associated with improvement in BP and is believed to be beneficial for all patients with hypertension. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The DASH diet is plentiful in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products and low in sugar and salt. Energy drinks are high in sugar, and chocolate milk is high in fat.
