Answer to Question 1

C
In the settings that deliver preventative and primary care, such as schools, physicians' or health care providers' offices, occupational health clinics, and nursing centers, health promotion is a major theme. Continuing care involves assisted living and psychiatric day care. Restorative care involves rehabilitation and home care. Tertiary care involves intensive care and psychiatric facil-ities.

Answer to Question 2

A
A bladder or cuff that is too wide will yield false-low readings. A cuff that is wrapped too loose-ly or unevenly will yield false-high readings. Deflating a cuff too slowly will produce false-high diastolic readings. The arm should be at the level of the heart. Having the arm above heart level will produce a false-low reading.
