Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The hemoglobin is low (anemia), therefore the ability of the blood to carry oxygen is decreased. High blood glucose and/or anticoagulants do not alter the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. A heart rate of 100 beats/min and blood pressure of 100/60 are not indicative of oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Hardening of the arteries from atherosclerosis can cause hypertension in the patient. Hypertension does not happen to everyone. Changing the patient's diet and exercising may be a positive life change, but these answers do not explain to the patient how the disease could have happened.
