1. Classify the following blood pressure value- 155-95mm/Hg.: Stage 2 hyper-
tension
2. True or False. Hypertension is often asymptomatic.: True
- Match the Blood Pressure with the correct classification.
- 110/75 mm/Hg
- 125/75mm/Hg
- 135/85mm/Hg
- 170/110mm/Hg: 110/75 mm/Hg = Normotensive
125/75mm/Hg = Elevated BP 135/85mm/Hg = Stage 1 170/110mm/Hg = Stage 2
4. True or False: Essential Hypertension is when the cause of a patient's
hypertension is unknown.: True
- What is the name of the artery that blood flow must be temporarily cut off
from when taking a patient's blood pressure?: Brachial artery
- / 2
- / 4
- List the two main physiologic factors that determine a patient's Cardiac
output.: heart rate (bpm)
stroke volume (vol. pumped per min)
- Increased blood pressure causes an overall increase in peripheral resis-
tance A the blood supply to the kidney. As a result, the kidney releases an enzyme called B ultimately leading to further
vasoconstriction and a further increase in C .: A. Inhibiting
- Renin
- Blood Pressure

apy in a 45 year-old-man with no other health conditions?: anything >140/90
mm/Hg
- True or False: Beta Blockers are first line for the treatment of hypertension.-
: False

receptors in the brain: Alpha agonists
- True or False: Beta Blockers' site of action is in the heart.: True
