Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Risks for orthostatic hypotension include multiple medications. Orthostatic hypotension can be accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, lightheadedness, blurred vision, and syncope upon standing or not. Whether orthostatic hypotension is symptomatic or asymptomatic, it can lead to negative functional consequences. Postprandial hypotension is not represented by this scenario. Asking what the primary health care provider said is passing the buck.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Inactivity is among the most salient risk factors for heart disease, exceeding the effects of stress. Knowledge about the role of family history is unlikely to lower individuals' risks of heart disease. An organic diet is not necessary to prevent heart disease.
