Answer to Question 1

B
A falsely elevated reading results if the bladder of the cuff is too narrow, and a falsely low reading results if the cuff is too wide. The cuff bladder should encircle 80 of the arm to obtain an accurate blood pressure. Obtaining two measurements ensures accuracy.

Answer to Question 2

B
European Americans are generally future oriented and are cognizant of the time at which certain things begin or end, while Asian Americans are oriented to the past, and Native Americans and African Americans are oriented to the present. These cultural differences in time orientation can affect such aspects as taking medications on a prescribed schedule or keeping follow-up appointments with health care providers.
