Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Thiazide diuretics are often the initial treatment for mild hypertension, reducing fluid volume and blood pressure. Saturated fats should be limited, blood pressure management is long-term, and alcohol should be limited to one drink per day for women, two for men.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea contributes to hypertension by causing repeated episodes of hypoxia, sympathetic nervous system activation, and increased vascular resistance. High potassium intake helps lower blood pressure, HDL of 70 mg/dL is protective, and benazepril treats hypertension, not causes it.

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A humidifier prevents nasal dryness from prolonged oxygen use. A is unsafe due to flammability risks, B disrupts oxygen delivery, and C is incorrect as the cannula is nasal, not oral.
