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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
