Answer to Question 1

A
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is also referred to as partial knee replacement.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The black population has a higher prevalence of heart disease than the white population, and hypertension occurs at a higher rate. A contributing factor is a blunted nocturnal response, in which only a minor decline occurs during sleep. Even though it is true that black persons have a higher incidence of cancer and diabetes than white persons, blood pressure screening does not address those disorders. Lifestyle modifications can effectively control many causes of morbidity and mortality among all people.
