Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 4: Limiting intake of alcohol and discontinuing the use of tobacco products are important nonpharmacologic methods for controlling hypertension.
Global Rationale: Limiting intake of alcohol and discontinuing the use of tobacco products are important nonpharmacologic methods for controlling hypertension.
