Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5
Many drugs impair insulin secretion, precipitating DM in people with predisposing insulin resistance. Examples are nicotinic acid, thyroid hormone, thiazides, and phenytoin. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) does not impair insulin secretion and precipitate diabetes mellitus in people with predisposing insulin resistance.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Anxiety and pale, cool skin are symptoms of hypoglycemia. In diabetic ketoacidosis, the blood glucose level is above 250 mg/dL. An ulcer is not a symptom of diabetic ketoacidosis.
