Answer to Question 1

1. Maintenance of proper glycemic control

Rationale:
Maintenance of proper control over glucose levels is imperative to stop the damaging effects associated with abnormally high levels of blood glucose. Yearly eye examinations, proper foot care, and being aware of the manifestations of coronary heart disease are important, but proper blood glucose control will decrease the likelihood of these complications of diabetes from occurring.

Answer to Question 2

C
If an error is made while documenting, use a single line to cross out the error, then date, time, and sign the correction according to organizational policy. Avoid erasing, crossing out, or using correction fluid.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
