Decrease your intake of foods high in salt.
Week 8 - Hypertension
Correct answer
Rationale
Primary hypertension does not have an identified cause, but
contributing factors include high sodium intake. Therefore decreasing
intake or complete elimination of foods high in sodium will help to
reduce blood pressure in the patient diagnosed with primary
hypertension. Canned fruits are high in sugar, which does not influence
blood pressure. Walking and exercising help to reduce weight and
therefore decrease blood pressure, but both interventions will require a
longer period of time to achieve results.
Test-Taking Tip: Key words or phrases in the stem of the question such
as first , primary, early, or best areim portant. Similarly, wordssuch as
only, always, never,and a lin the alternatives arefrequently evidence of

Week 8 - "Kidney
Hypertension
disease is the most common reason."
"I t is caused by a decrease in plasma renin levels."
Rationale
There is not one exact cause of primary hypertension; there are several
contributing factors. Renal or kidney disease is a cause of secondary
hypertension. An increase, not decrease, in plasma renin levels is a
contributing factor in the development of primary hypertension.
Hypertension speeds up the process of atherosclerosis in the peripheral
blood vessels.

139/86 mm Hg
Your answer is incorrect
Week 8 - Hypertension
142/88 mm Hg
Correct answer
Rationale
Stage 1 hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure of 140 to
150 or a diastolic blood pressure of 90 to 99 mm Hg. Blood pressures
of 122/76 and 139/86 mm Hg are defined as prehypertension. Blood
pressure of 162/92 mm Hg is categorized as stage 2 hypertension.
Test-Taking Tip: If you are unable to answer a multiple-choice question
immediately, eliminate the alternatives that you know are incorrect and
proceed from that point. The same goes for a multiple-response
question that requires you to choose two or more of the given
alternatives. If a fi ll-in-the-blank question poses a problem, read the
situation and essential information carefully and then formulate your
response.
