Answer to Question 1

B
Chronic cough, shortness of breath, and dyspnea on exertion are the classic symptoms of COPD. Responses A, C, and D are incorrect. Heart palpitations, peripheral edema, and cyanotic nail beds may be symptoms but are not the common primary symptoms of COPD. Joint pain is not usually noted as a symptom of COPD.

Answer to Question 2

D
Glaucoma is the asymptomatic increase in intraocular pressure that is a major cause of blindness. Responses A, B, and C all affect vision and visual acuity but are not major causes of blindness. Cataracts (response A) can be surgically removed. Presbyopia (response C) can be treated with corrective lenses or bifocals. Macular degeneration (response B) causes decreased central vision but not blindness.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
