Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, D
About 30 to 45 minutes of exercise, such as brisk walking, at least five times weekly is recommended for all people with hypertension. The following nutritional interventions are recommended for all people with hypertension: sodium intake limited to 1.5 g daily; avoidance of processed foods; daily intake of 7 to 8 servings of grains and grain products and 8 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables.
A person's blood pressure should be measured at least three times before making any decisions about treatment with a goal of systolic blood pressure of <130>

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Modifiable risk factors include obesity, and control of blood glucose levels. Hepatitis A is not a risk factor. Prior myocardial infarction and strong family history are not modifiable. However, those clients are at risk and other risk factors in their life may need to be modified.
