Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The health consequences of using e-cigarettes are not yet known because they are new products. The nurse educates the young adult to this fact.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
African-Americans have a higher rate of stroke than whites at any age. Hypertension is also a risk factor for stroke. Stroke risk also increases with age overall. Therefore, the person with the highest risk of stroke is the older hypertensive African-American.
