The serum albumin test measures the amount of albumin in the blood. Albumin is synthesized in the liver, the normal range is 3.5 to 5 g/dl. 5.5 is above the normal values, which is slightly abnormal. Abnormal values of serum albumin is caused by malfunctioning liver caused by excessive consumption of alcohol and smoking. A man with anorexia, without any other vices that would affect the liver won't affect the serum albumin value that much.

Answer:

a. Atenolol is a beta-blocker, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic.  

b. Atenolol and Hydrochlorothiazide can be used together to decrease the blood pressure and to slow the heart rate down.

c. The patient needs to have into consideration that both medications may cause irregular heartbeats, dizziness, weakness and fainting.

Explanation:

Atenolol is a beta-blocker, it means that this drug slows down the heart rate by changing how the body responds to nerve impulses, which enhances the pumping of blood. Moreover, Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or 'water pills' drug that can be used to treat edema conditions (i.e., excess fluid in tissues), thereby enhancing blood pressure that can damage the heart. It has been shown that the combination of both drugs may decrease the blood pressure and the incidence of hypertension.
