Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
People with type 2 diabetes mellitus are usually able to control glucose levels with an oral hypoglycemic medication, but they may require insulin if control is inadequate. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is not treated with oral medications. The person with type 1 DM requires a lifelong exogenous source of the insulin hormone to maintain life. Patients with diabetes do not progress from type 1 to type 2.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4
Insulin may be necessary for patients with diabetes mellitus who are experiencing an infection or surgery or have gestational diabetes mellitus. Insulin is not prescribed for patients who are malnourished or are receiving total parenteral nutrition.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
