  B) Pulse pressure
  C) Systolic pressure
  D) Diastolic pressure

Question 2

  1 . Security and safety
  2 . Self-actualization
  3 . Physiologic
  4 . Love, affection, and belonging
  5 . Self-esteem
  A) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
  B) 3, 1, 4, 5, 2
  C) 4, 1, 3, 2, 5

Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Cardiac output is the amount of blood the ventricles pump out in 1 minute; normally, 4 to 6 L/minute. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. Systolic blood pressure, in this example 120, is the force during ventricular contraction. Diastolic blood pressure, in this example is 80, is the force during ventricular relaxation. The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure is called pulse pressure.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Maslow's theory defines the basic needs of all people as a progression from simple physical needs required for survival to more complex ones. A person must meet the needs at the foundation of the hierarchy before working toward meeting higher-level needs. The correct sequential order is physiological, security and safety, love, affection and belonging, self-esteem and self-actualization.
