Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Arteriosclerosis applies to several pathologic conditions in which the walls of the arteries thicken, harden, and lose elasticity. Hypertension is high blood pressure; hypotension is low blood pressure. Cardiac dysrhythmia, an irregularity in the heartbeat's rhythm, is a complication of numerous disorders, such as MI, electrolyte imbalances (especially, potassium), and other heart and circulatory disorders.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Children with diabetes mellitus type 1 often have an abrupt onset of the classic symptoms of polyuria (dramatic increase in urinary output, probably with enuresis), polydipsia (abnormal thirst), and polyphagia (increased hunger). These symptoms are usually accompanied by weight loss or failure to gain weight and a lack of energy.
