Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
The benefits of weight-loss treatment include reduction of blood pressure in hypertensive pa-tients, reduction of glucose in individuals with type 2 diabetes, and an increase in high-density lipoproteins.
Weight-loss treatment does not prevent type 1 diabetes.
Weight-loss treatment does not increase low-density lipoprotein.

Answer to Question 2

C
The patient should be lying supine during administration of the pentamidine infusion to minimize dizziness and hypotension.
The Trendelenburg position is not appropriate, and nothing indicates that the patient has hyper-tensive crisis.
The side-lying position will not minimize injection discomfort.
The sitting position is not appropriate; the patient should be supine.
