Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Patients who have diabetes before they become pregnant may actually require less insulin than usual in the first trimester because serum glucose is reduced by high fetal demands, nausea and vomiting, and anorexia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Hyperemesis gravidarum is persistent, severe vomiting during pregnancy that may lead to dehydration, starvation, and excessive weight loss.
