Answer to Question 1

D
Increasing intake of foods rich in potassium, magnesium, and calcium can help decrease risk of hypertension. Intakes of iron, zinc, copper, selenium, chromium, iodine, chloride, and bicarbonate do not affect blood pressure. Increasing intake of foods high in sodium will generally increase blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

C
Patients with mild to moderate hypertension should attempt to lower their blood pressure using lifestyle modifications for 3 to 6 months before drug therapy is considered.
