Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4,5
Rationale: Angina is a mismatch between myocardial oxygen supply and oxygen demand. Decreasing brain oxygen consumption will not help correct this problem.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,3,4
Rationale 1: It is not necessary to eliminate the consumption of alcohol. It is recommended that the patient decrease consumption to small or moderate amounts.
Rationale 2: It is recommended that patients eliminate foods high in cholesterol and saturated fats in order to decrease the risk of CAD.
Rationale 3: Keeping blood pressure within normal levels decreases the risk of CAD.
Rationale 4: Exercising and maintaining a healthy weight decrease the risk of CAD.
Rationale 5: The patient should be encouraged to eliminate tobacco products, not just decrease the number of cigarettes smoked.
