Answer to Question 1

C
Exercise should occur after peak action time to prevent hypoglycemia. NovoLog is a rapid-acting insulin that peaks 1 to 3 hours after administration. Since the insulin is administered at 70/30, scheduling exercise for 1300 would mean that it occurs after the peak insulin action.

Answer to Question 2

D
If Reed-Sternberg (R-S) cells are present, the patient has Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). If the R-S cells are not present, the patient is diagnosed as having non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). NHL is then identified as either B-cell or T-cell lymphoma.
