Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing blood pressure classifications with a group of nurses at an in-service meeting. Which of the following should the nurse include as a risk factor for the development of hypertension?

Correct Answer: A,E

Rationale: The correct answers are A (Obstructive sleep apnea) and E (Cigarette smoking). Obstructive sleep apnea is a risk factor for hypertension due to the intermittent hypoxia and sympathetic nervous system activation it causes, leading to increased blood pressure. Cigarette smoking is also a known risk factor for hypertension as it damages blood vessels, increases heart rate, and narrows arteries.

Choices B, C, and D are not directly associated with an increased risk of developing hypertension. A diet high in potassium is actually beneficial for blood pressure regulation. High levels of HDL cholesterol are considered protective against cardiovascular diseases. Benazepril is an ACE inhibitor used to treat hypertension, not a risk factor for its development.
