Answer to Question 1

A, C
Steady worsening and clear acute relapses are the principle characteristics of relaps-ing-progressive MS.

Answer to Question 2

B
Insulin injections are rotated within one body area to enhance absorption. Patients are given charts showing the places on the arms, legs, buttocks, and abdomen where insulin can be in-jected. Patients should be encouraged to keep a daily record of injection sites to help remember which sites have been used and to avoid the problem of altered or erratic absorption, which is a complication associated with overuse of a single site. The most important way to reduce the in-cidence of infection is to wash the hands before insulin administration and to avoid reusing sy-ringes. Fatty tumors are not complications of overuse of a single injection site. The term insulin reaction refers to hypoglycemia, and hypoglycemia is not directly associated with the failure to rotate injection sites.
