Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Sugar consumption exists in epidemic proportions in the United States. High amounts of sugar consumption increase the risk of coronary artery disease by increasing triglyceride levels. Increased sugar consumption has also been linked to hypertension, diabetes, and obesity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Dehydration or hemorrhage causes a decrease in circulating volume. Because tissue perfusion depends on a sufficient volume of circulating blood, any decrease in volume can lead to tissue hypoxia. This occurs in the condition commonly called hypovolemic shock. Septic shock results from infection. It is associated with elevations in heart rate and temperature. Cardiogenic shock results when the heart is unable to meet the demands of the body. Anaphylactic shock results when the body is introduced to a substance to which it is highly allergic. Symptoms include tachycardia and difficulty breathing.
