Answer to Question 1

A, C
Weight loss in type 1 diabetics can be attributed to loss of body fluids and metabolization of fats. Insulin intolerance, stress of the disease, and altered diet are not reasons for weight loss in type 1 diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

B
Visualization of the optic disc provides information about the pressure within the eye and within the skull. When ICP gets higher, the optic disc appears swollen or choked.
