Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4
Rationale 1: Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system increases cardiac output and vasoconstriction of the arterioles, increasing the blood pressure reading.
Rationale 2: African-Americans over 35 years of age tend to have higher blood pressures than do European Americans of the same age.

Rationale 4: Many medications, including caffeine, can increase or decrease the blood pressure.
Rationale 5: Employment is not a factor that affects blood pressure.
