Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes have similar manifestations, especially polyuria and polydipsia. Polyphagia is not often seen, and weight loss is uncommon. Vision changes are seen in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for type 2 DM. Patients with obesity, defined as being at least 20 over desired body weight or having a body mass index (BMI) of at least 27 kg/m2, are at major risk for type 2 DM. A blood pressure of 120/70 is normal and carries no increased risk for type 2 DM. A high waist-to-hip ratio is a risk factor for type 2 DM. A low waist-to-hip ratio carries no increased risk of the disease.

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.
