Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
One reason for the development of severe hypoglycemia is too much exercise. Diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state are not associated with exercise. Exercise does not impact glucose tolerance.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4
Dizziness, lightheadedness, and sweating are symptoms of hypoglycemia. Monitor for hypoglycemia if the patient is also taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), ranitidine, or beta blockers. Zyrtec and Colace do not interact with glyburide.
