Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E
Self-care measures for hypertension include 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on most days of the week, maintaining a normal body weight, limiting alcohol to two drinks/day for men and one drink/day for women, reducing sodium intake to 2.4 g/day, and following the DASH diet.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The important fact in this question is that the patient is partly undressed and the nurse provides a means to keep the patient warm. All answers are appropriate for any examination, but keeping the patient warm is specific to this situation.
